From the team behind the Philippines’ longest-running, most-watched, and most-acclaimed television news magazine — and the producers of the 2023 and 2024 MMFF Best Pictures Firefly and Green Bones (GMA Pictures) — comes KMJS’ Gabi ng Lagim The Movie.
For more than a decade, Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho’s Gabi ng Lagim has been the most popular and highly anticipated Halloween special on Philippine television. From ghost stories to supernatural beings, urban legends, and demonic possessions, it has consistently showcased real people’s paranormal encounters, supported by facts and investigations. It also stands as the country’s most viewed Halloween special online, with over 700 million views since 2013. Its cinematic reenactments, directed by some of the country’s top filmmakers, complete the show’s unforgettable Halloween experience.
This year, the phenomenal annual Halloween special breaks new ground as it makes its way to the big screen, featuring three distinct stories to be directed by acclaimed filmmakers Yam Laranas, Dodo Dayao, and GMA Public Affairs’ homegrown talent, King Mark Baco.
Miguel Tanfelix banners “Pocong,” where a cadet seafarer’s first voyage turns terrifying when he encounters some hauntings aboard his ship, revealing truths more horrifying and disturbing than any ghosts.
Written by Onay Sales-Camero and Yam Laranas, and directed by Laranas, the film also features Kristoffer Martin, Jon Lucas, Phi Palmos, Art Acuña, Karl Medina, Arra San Agustin, Elijah Alejo, Gilleth Sandico, and Eva Darren.
Sanya Lopez headlines “Berbalang,” written and directed by Dodo Dayao, DGPI. When a freshly murdered body is stolen from the town morgue, the police chief thinks he’s dealing with one of the townspeople – until whispers of a flesh-eating creature known as the berbalang begin to surface. Soon, the line between myth and reality starts to blur — leading everyone to confront something far more terrifying than they could ever imagine.
Also part of the cast are Elijah Canlas, Rocco Nacino, Mikoy Morales, Jojit Lorenzo, Nicco Manalo, Charles Salazar, Joel Saracho, and Skelly Skelly.
Rounding off the hair-raising stories is “Sanib,” starring Jillian Ward, where a young girl becomes possessed by an unspeakable evil. A priest-in-training must confront his deepest fears and test his faith in a battle between light and darkness. Inspired by true events, Sanib delves into the thin line between faith and fear, exploring what it truly means to face evil in all its forms.
Directed by King Mark Baco and written by Anton Santamaria and Onay Sales-Camero, FSG, the movie also features Martin Del Rosario, Epy Quizon, Ashley Ortega, Therese Malvar, Rolando Inocencio, Vince Maristela, Cheska Fausto, Nikki Co, Eli Padilla, and Lotlot de Leon.
From the TV screens that defined viewers’ Halloween nights to the big screen where actual Filipino stories become cinematic nightmares — KMJS’ Gabi ng Lagim The Movie transforms real-life events and horrors into an unforgettable big screen experience.
Catch KMJS’ Gabi ng Lagim The Movie in cinemas nationwide beginning November 26.
