“Uninvited” hits theatres nationwide on Dec. 25, a gift to Filipino audiences for 50th MMFF

 CEBU CITY –Three of the best forces in Philippine Cinema -- Vilma Santos, Aga Muhlach and Nadine Lustre gather in “Uninvited”, a gripping thriller-drama set to electrify this year's Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) as it celebrates its 50th anniversary and as a gift to Filipino audiences as the movie hits the theaters nationwide on Christmas day.

"We understand the challenges Filipinos face today. Watching a movie in theaters is a luxury, so we made sure this is worth every peso. It's indeed a full cinematic experience in theaters this Christmas,” Mentorque CEO John Bryan Diamante told Cebu media in a press conference on December 8 at Citadines Hotel, Cebu City.

Diamante said that from Mentorque Productions-the makers of the most-awarded Filipino horror movie of all time, Mallari, comes a remarkable cinematic milestone Filipino audience can't afford to miss.   The film is distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, which also helped catapult last year's MMFF to success and joining the team is Project 8 Projects in its first collaboration with Mentorque Productions.

Directed by Dan Villegas in his comeback directorial film after six years, Uninvited showcases an unforgettable collaboration of some of the most celebrated actors in Philippine cinema, with a screenplay written by Dodo Dayao.

Official Synopsis

Vilma Santos as Eva Candelaria has been waiting for this day for the last ten years the birthday party of Guilly Vega played by Aga Muhlach, the billionaire who brutally murdered her only daughter a decade ago and escaped justice.

Disguised as a socialite, Eva attends the opulent event with a single goal: revenge. As the night unfolds, she carefully stalks each person involved in her daughter's murder; inching closer to her ultimate target. But who is the true villain of her story? Is it Guilly or his daughter Nicole? Unarmed and without a concrete plan, Eva must make life-or-death choices as her options dwindle. Will she fulfill her mission, or will the night claim her life instead?

Guilly Vega's ominous line in the teaser— "Hindi lang to basta party!" - emphasizes the film's deeper themes. Behind the mysterious story and lavish setting lies a gritty, thought-provoking message.

Leading the powerhouse ensemble cast are Aga Muhlach, Nadine Lustre, and the Star for All Seasons Vilma Santos, supported by an impressive lineup that includes RK Bagatsing, Mylene Dizon, Lotlot de Leon, Gabby Padilla, Elijah Canlas, Ketchup Eusebio, Gio Alvarez, Cholo Barretto, Ron Angeles, and Tirso Cruz II.
