The ‘It Girls of Horror’ are ready to scare you
Sue Ramirez, Miles Ocampo, Michelle Vito, Jane de Leon and Chanel Morales, dubbed as the “It Girls of Horror Films,” will spread chills and thrills in this year’s most exciting and terrifying movie, The Debutantes, in cinemas Oct. 4.
The Debutantes serves as the five millennial stars’ biggest break under director Prime Cruz, the same director who gave us Ang Manananggal sa Unit 23-B.
The story of The Debutantes will revolve around Kate (Sue), a friendless and weird-looking student who tries to win the friendship of fellow students Lara (Miles), Jenny (Jane), Candice (Michelle) and Shayne (Chanel).
She, however, fails miserably in that she only gets close to one of them, Lara, while the rest of the girls find immeasurable joy in bullying her around. Kate then experiences a nightmare and warns them about it but they would not listen, except for Lara.
Sue was first seen in the remake of the hit teleserye Mula sa Puso, which was followed by the series Angelito: Batang Ama, Angelito: Ang Bagong Yugto, Annaliza, Pangako Sa ’Yo, Dolce Amore and the ongoing La Luna Sangre of Daniel Padilla and Kathryn Bernardo.
She was also part of the reality show I Can Do That aside from being named Honorary Tourism Ambassador for Korea.
Her film outings include Aswang, Just The Way You Are and A Second Chance.
Miles, meanwhile, is a product of the kiddie gag show Goin’ Bulilit. Aside from numerous TV series, Miles has also appeared in a number of movies like I’ve Fallen For You, A Very Special Love, You Changed My Life, BFF: Best Friends Forever and Paano na Kaya?
Michelle, on the other hand, initially made her mark as a contravida in the fantaserye Aryana.
She has done shows for ABS-CBN and was cast in the horror film Pagpag: Siyam na Buhay.
For her part, Jane was a multi-talented entertainer when she entered showbiz. She was in the fantasy series Wansapanataym last year and was a member of the all-girl dance group Girltrends of It’s Showtime.
Chanel stands as the newest Regal Millennial Baby. She first earned notice in the artista search
Artista Academy on TV5 and was part of the Wattpad Presents series. She, too, is in the cast of FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano.
Together, these girls deliver a unique brand of horror in The Debutantes, one that today’s millennial generation can relate to as it delves into the subject of bullying within the campus.
In addition, churning out horror flicks that click with the audience is a forte of Regal Films.
Shake, Rattle & Roll stands to be the country’s longest and most successful horror franchise to date. Its other festival entry, Haunted
Mansion, is a top grosser as well while Regal’s last horror presentation, Pwera
Usog, was a blockbuster. As for feedback on social media platforms, the trailer of The Debutantes scored nothing but rave reviews — proof that netizens and movie enthusiasts alike await the kind of chill and thrill the “Horror It Girls” will offer.
