Pedring Lopez's Award-Winning Action Horror, NILALANG (THE ENTITY), Haunts With A New International Trailer

Film festivalgoers still have an opportunity in the coming months to attend screenings of writer and director Pedring Lopez's new action horror, Nilalang (The Entity). The film hit an unfortunate snag late last year upon its release following its ceremonial presentation at the Metro Manila Film Festival, but it hasn't stopped the film from garnering some much deserved attention in the months since.

And not for nothing either as the film is easily one of the most solid pieces of work coming out of the Philippines in recent memory with leading man Cesar Montano starring alongside former adult entertainer, actress Maria Ozawa making a career milestone of her own. For this and all its international appeal, a new trailer began making the rounds this week with all the appropriate laurels, and a review quote from yours truly at my own platform apart from ScreenAnarchy.

SYNOPSIS:

NBI special crimes division agent Tony (Cesar Montano) encounters an evil entity which is bent on killing and torturing beautiful women, one of which was his girlfriend, years after he have thought to have killed the malevolent spirit. People close to Tony is in danger including his partner Jane (Meg Imperial), who has romantic interest towards him with everyone in the agency aware of this fact except for Tony. The spirit, who has killed many people in Japan, is thought to be targeting women from a certain clan of samurai. In Manila, Miyuki (Maria Ozawa) takes care of the family business while her younger sister is taking care of their aging father. Miyuki is later forced to help in the investigation regarding the murders after Akane went missing and their father was found dead to put of stop to the evil entity's killing spree.

There's more news to come for Nilalang following its Los Angeles International Film Fest premiere with the film now primed for screenings in Argentina, the U.K., New York City, Spain and more. Watch the international trailer below and keep this one on your movie map from now through 2017.
