Horror and suspense fans can now experience the thrills of “KMJS Gabi ng Lagim The Movie” as it premieres on Prime Video starting June 26. The film, produced by GMA Pictures and GMA Public Affairs, brings three terrifying stories inspired by real events to the streaming platform, continuing the legacy of the Philippines’ most anticipated Halloween television special.
Presented by Jessica Soho, the movie features a star-studded cast led by Jillian Ward, Sanya Lopez, Elijah Canlas, and Miguel Tanfelix. The anthology comprises three distinct stories directed by acclaimed filmmakers Yam Laranas, Dodo Dayao, and King Mark Baco.
Pocong: A Haunting at Sea
Miguel Tanfelix stars in “Pocong,” where a cadet seafarer’s first voyage turns terrifying when he encounters hauntings aboard his ship. The experience reveals truths more horrifying and disturbing than any ghost. The pocong is rooted in Indonesian ghost stories and Malay folklore.
Berbalang: Myth Meets Reality
Sanya Lopez and Elijah Canlas headline “Berbalang,” written and directed by Dodo Dayao, DGPI. When a freshly murdered body is stolen from the town morgue, the police chief suspects a townsperson—until whispers of a flesh-eating creature known as the berbalang surface. The line between myth and reality blurs, leading everyone to confront something far more terrifying than they could imagine.
Sanib: A Battle of Faith and Fear
Rounding off the stories is “Sanib,” starring Jillian Ward. A young girl becomes possessed by an unspeakable evil, and a priest-in-training must confront his deepest fears and test his faith in a battle between light and darkness. The film explores the thin line between faith and fear, examining what it truly means to face evil in all its forms.
