GMA Pictures unleashes mind-bending horror film “P77”

 

In theaters beginning July 30

What if the real horror is what you believe?

This July 30, viewers should prepare to have their worst nightmares come to life as GMA Pictures and GMA Public Affairs bring “P77,” a psychological horror film that will keep them on the edge of their seats.

From the acclaimed makers of the award-winning “Firefly,” “Green Bones,” and box office hit “Mallari,” this latest offering promises a truly mind-bending experience that’s best seen on the big screen.

Kapuso Primetime Princess Barbie Forteza takes on her first lead role in a horror film, promising a performance that will undoubtedly shock and captivate audiences.

Barbie is joined by a formidable ensemble, including “Firefly” child star and award-winning child actor Euwenn Mikaell, veteran actors Jackielou Blanco, Carlos Siguion-Reyna, Gina Pareño, Rosanna Roces, as well as Chrome Cosio and JC Alcantara.

“P77” delves into the terrifying realm where the worst nightmares happen wide awake.

The story revolves around Luna (Barbie), a cruise ship chambermaid who has to quit her job to attend to her sick brother (Euwenn). While doing so, she discovers that her mother (Rosanna) has gone missing and her brother’s condition is getting progressively worse. The siblings desperately sneak into an empty condo unit but soon discover that Penthouse 77 is not what it seems.

 

 

Offering unique insights, the film's lead star explained how “P77” distinguishes itself within the horror genre.

“Napaka-grounded ng story namin – it revolves around family. It will also delicately delve into PTSD or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Aside from the jumpscare, this is also an awareness para mas lumawak ang ating intindi sa mga taong may PTSD,” shared Barbie.

The film is based on a chilling story crafted by “Green Bones” creators Anj Atienza and Kristian Julao, with the screenplay penned by award-winning writer Enrico Santos. Guiding this terrifying vision is Derick Cabrido, the new generation thrillmaker known for the successful horror flicks he has directed, including the 2023 thriller film “Mallari.”

 

GMA Pictures has a storied history of producing quality horror films, with titles like “The Road,” “Ouija,” “Basement,” and “Kubot: The Aswang Chronicles” solidifying its reputation in the genre. “P77” aims to continue this legacy, offering a unique and unforgettable horror event that nobody should miss.

“P77” is set to hit cinemas starting July 30 and will be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures.

All should brace themselves for a collective experience that will leave them questioning what is real and what is merely a nightmare.
