Meg Imperial It's Harder To Do Scary Scenes In 'Chain Mail' Than To Do Sexy Scenes

MEG IMPERIAL was launched by Viva to stardom in the movie "Menor de Edad" and, on TV, in ABS-CBN's "Moon of Desire" where she played a very hairy girl. How does she feel now that she is just one of the many leads in Viva's new horror flick, "Chain Mail"?

"Okay lang naman yun kasi puro kapwa ko Viva stars ang mga kasama ko, sina Shy Carlos, AJ Muhlach, Mark Bautista and Nadine Lustre," she says. "Pero sa totoo lang, lahat kami, nahirapan. Hindi madaling gumawa ng horror movie kasi nakakapagod ang mga eskena na takutan, habulan, sigawan. At the end of each shooting day, we feel exhausted, drained. Talagang after each shoot, gugustuhin mo na lang na matulog buong araw para makabawi ka."

So it's even harder than doing sexy scenes? "Mahirap din magpa-sexy,, but itong horror, very physical ang mga eksena kaya mas nakakapagod talaga lalo na kapag hina-harass ka na ng isang multo."

Does she believe in ghosts? "Yes. Noong bata ako, mahilig ako mag-ghost hunting, e. Ine-expect ko ngang may magpaparamdam sa akin habang sinu-shoot namin itong 'Chain Mail' with Direk Adolf Alix, pero wala naman. Hindi kami minulto sa set. Pero yung story nito, tungkol sa mga chain letter na kapag ipinasa sa iyo at ni-reject mo kaya mamalasin ka at may masamang mangyayari sa iyo, maaaring mangyari sa totoong buhay. Iyun ang pinagbasehan nitong movie. Lahat ng nag-reject sa isang chain e-mail, isa-isang namamatay."

She says she's loveless right now, but how true is it that JM de Guzman tried to woo her before he reconciled with Jessy Mendiola? "Nagkaroon kami ng connection, sandali lang naman. Nagkasama kami sa isang event in Davao tapos nagyaya siyang lumabas, pero hindi naman natuloy. Naudlot. I can feel naman na si Jessy pa rin ang nasa puso niya and I'm very happy for them. Hindi naman siya kawalan for me."
