Daniel Padilla Says Making A Horror Film Is So Physically & Emotionally Tiring

ABS-CBN IS not taking the usual rom-com route for their hottest teen love, Daniel Padilla and Kathryn Bernardo. After being launched in “Must Be Love”, they now star in a horror flick, “Pagpag: Siyam ng Buhay”. Unlike Kathryn who has tried horror in “Shake, Rattle & Roll 13”, it’s Daniel’s first horror encounter and he says it’s quite tiring to do a scary movie. “Very physical ang effort sa mga eksenang takutan kaya nakakapagod,” he says. “Kailangan, yung level ng emotion mo, laging mataas kasi hindi ka puedeng manakot na parang dedma ka lang at walang pakialam. Mas mahirap manakot kaysa basta magpakilig ka lang ng fans.”

But it’s nice to be paired with Kathryn even if it’s a horror flick that they’re doing? “Siempre naman, masaya talaga. Masaya kaming lahat sa set, along with Ate Shaina Magdayao, Kuya Paulo Avelino, at yung iba pang barkada naming sina Miles Ocampo, Michelle Vito, CJ Novato, Janus del Prado and the rest. Kaya kahit nananakot kami, masaya kami yung buong team namin sa set. Actually, kami ni Kat, hirap na hirap sa movie kasi kalagare nito ang taping namin for ‘Got to Believe’. So kung minsan, nagre-report kami sa shooting na pagod pa kami’t walang tulog mula sa taping ng TV show namin. Para sa mga magsyota, parang date movie rin ito kasi maraming eksenang magugulat sila at siempre, magandang magkayakap o magka-holding hands kayo sa mga horror scenes. Ako mismo, natakot sa mga eksena namin noong dina-dub ko yung lines ko.”
