The 2010 Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) will start on Christmas Day, December 25 as eight (8) new Filipino movies will flood all the multiplexes nationwide. The only new twist this year is that five (5) indie flicks will be exhibited in Cinema 3 of Robinson’s Galleria Movieworld simultaneous with the festival.

One of the entries (and one of 3 bets of Star Cinema) is “Dalaw” (Visit) which aims to scare the hell out of the moviegoers during the Holiday Season. It stars the ‘Queen of Horror Films’ – Kris Aquino – in a role that is supposed to be more physically demanding than what she did in “Sukob” and “Feng Shui”. In it, she stars with Diether Ocampo, Karylle, Alessandra de Rossi, Empress Schuck Maliksi Morales and Gina Pareno.

Directed by Dondon S. Santos (‘Noy’), “Dalaw” is out to make it to the Top 3 moneymakers in the MMFF.
