Star Cinema's Segunda Mano

Ever wondered who was the owner of your bag you bought in Greenhills or Ukay?

Have it ever crossed in your mind how things around the house originated, especially antiques?

This December, be terrified with Star Cinema’s suspense horror film.

 Segunda Mano, a movie of Star Cinema for 2011 Metro Manila Film Festival is one of the much awaited movies this year. A dream come true project, this is how can I describe the movie. This is the combination of gigantic talents of two rival networks, GMA-7 and ABSCBN-2. Starring the gems of ABSCBN, Angelica Panganiban and Multimedia Queen, Kris Aquino and joined by GMA’s premiere leading man, Dingdong Dantes. This is also the comeback of Movie Queen Ms. Helen Gamboa.

Ms. Helen plays the character of Adela, mother of Mabel (Kris Aquino). After the tragic death of her young daughter Marie, Adela grieved so much that she unintentionally lost affection for her other child Mabel. Adela knows that she can’t stand to lose her remaining daughter now that Mabel is haunted by a seemingly vengeful ghost.

Dingdong, on the other hand plays the character of Ivan Galvez, a rich and successful architect and recuperating from past heartache. Mabel and Ivan found love in a hopeless place. After he proposes to her, she started to experience thrilling encounters with a violent ghost that smash chaos on her and the people around her. Meanwhile, Angelica plays a very mysterious role that will make the audience think until the end of the film.

Director of the movie, Binibining Joyce Bernal attended the blog conference of the movie held at Tea Cup, Mother Ignacia. She shared motivations and visuals on how she came up with this film. She shared her personal experiences on encountering elements or ghost back in Sampaguita Pictures. Writer Joel Mercado explains how they came up with the concept of horror with the elements of a second hand items. He said that Filipinos are fond of buying signatures items but they don’t want to spend much that why many people settle for less expensive and second hand items.

I had a chance to ask Bb. Joyce about what makes Kris Aquino very appealing to horror films. In her reply, she describes Kris’ expression very communicative. She has the gift of convincing people how a certain scenario could be terrifying.

This Christmas, give you self and young loved ones a thrill on their spines and have a spooky holiday. I am inviting everyone to catch Star Cinema’s sure hit, Segunda Mano starring Kris Aquino, Dingdong Dantes, Angelica Panganiban and Ms. Helen Gamboa.
