Being invited in a press conference a privilege for a blogger.  Knowing and meeting the cast is one of the benefits that the bloggers get.  Having a first glimpse of what's their latest movie, their show, or their latest album.    Thanks to those who are in the industry, bloggers get a peek of what's hot and what's in.


The last press conference that I attended was a little bit eerie.  The feeling in a dark secluded place that would really raise the hair off of your skin.  It's a team up of two known actor and actress for a very trembling yet heart pumping horror love story, Derek Ramsay and Erich Gonzales on Corazon: Ang Unang Aswang.

There are different tales about monsters and creatures that lurks in the dark and Filipinos do have plenty of those stories.  Most of them were told by the old folks of different towns.  Different stories, different creatures and different places.


For this story, Director Richard Somes runs his wild imagination about a loving couple whose love for each other survives the biggest trials confronting them.  Erich plays the character of Corazon whose otherwise peaceful life in a small town is shattered by a crime that brings back her tragic memory about World War II.  While Derek plays the role of Daniel, Corazon's husband, whose obsession in life is to sire a child with Corazon.  Having a baby is the only important thing Corazon wants in life, but she and Daniel have been unsuccessful in having one even if they've been married for five years.

The death of Corazon's father prompt the townspeople to hurt insults at Corazon about her past, forcing her and Daniel to transfer to another town where they seek the help of a woman in their desire to have a baby.  Wish granted.  But the baby comes out stillborn.  Corazon and Daniel's world crumbles and their love for each other is in question.

The casts, Derek and Erich accepted this project with the notion that they will be facing a new challenge in their career and it is something different from the usual characters that they are playing.  According to them they have put more than hundred percent on this project.

This is a very intriguing horror love story that will raise curiosity to those who have viewed the trailer.  Everything will be answered and will be revealed on March 14, 2012 under Star Cinema and Skylight Films.  Other casts of the film are Mark Gil, Tetchie Agbayani, Epi Quizon, Mon Confiado, Dan Alvaro, Sue Prado, Sharlene San Pedro, Bodjie Pascual and Ma. Isabel Lopez.


"Corazon: Ang Unang Aswang" opens in over 100 theaters nationwide on March 14, 2012!
