In the tradition of producing good movies for the Filipino viewers, Regal Films is now giving us another box-office wonder – Mag-ingat ka Sa …Kulam.

Are you afraid of Kulam?
The phenomenon of Kulam is often talked about and wondered in our society but is never seriously addressed in films. Sometimes it is even dismissed as plain nakakatakot.

But more than the fear of kulam, one has to understand how it works and we should know and learn what to do in case we become victims of kulam.

This is the compelling reason why a top movie company Regal Films and industry leader Mother Lily Monteverde thought of producing a film about kulam with her prized superstar Judy Ann Santos as lead.

"I want the best for this 48th Regal Anniversary project and I personally chose Judy Ann who is about the most celebrated and acclaimed actress of her generation," said Mother Lily. "With this movie, we are able to make the Filipinos understand a scary yet very real practice of kulam and equip them with important pointers that would be helpful in handling cases of actual kulam. Mag-ingat ka sa…Kulam is not only a movie. It will be an enlightening experience."

Why Judy Ann Santos?
"It's been almost five decades that we have given the Filipinos good quality entertainment--and we are happy that we have assembled the most formidable acting team up of Judy Ann Santos and Dennis Trillo in this well-thought out and well-executed new horror flick which has been the Regal tradition since the box-office and critical success that is Shake, Rattle and Roll," said Mother Lily.

Written and directed by Palanca award-winning writer Jun Lana, the film will not only give us a good scare, it will make us understand the power of kulam which has become popular all this time. More importantly, the film will enlighten and inform everyone on how to deal with modern-day witchcraft or kulam.

"We made sure that the Regal trademark of excellence is carried through in our films that's why I am proud to have the best actors and actresses, the best creative and production people; and even the best technical and special effects staff in our anniversary movie. We owe nothing but the best for our audiences who have supported our movies throughout our 48 years of providing topnotch entertainment to all the Filipinos worldwide," Mother Lily declares.

Aside from Judy Ann Santos, Mag-ingat ka sa…Kulam stars Dennis Trillo, TJ Trinidad, Mart Escudero, Kris Bernal, and Sharlene San Pedro. Written and directed by Jun Lana, the film will usher in the Halloween month and is showing on October 1 in theaters nationwide.
