Deals with a dark creature called "sitsit," this year, Haunted Forest is the only horror movie in this year’s Metro Manila Film Festival's line-up.

"Haunted Forest" tells the story of Nica (Jane Oineza), a teenager forced to leave her life behind when her estranged policeman father Aris (Raymart Santiago) got reassigned to the province. The once peaceful town is now haunted by “sitsit,” a supernatural being who preys on women, eventually leaving the victim’s lifeless body in the middle of the forest.

"If the kids of the 70's 80's 90's and 200's enjoyed different, uniquely-Regal iconic horror creatures like the mananaggal, Aswang, tiyanak, pridyeder, and undin, this 2017 is the perfect time for us to give the new generation of moviegoers-- the millennials and zentennials--with their own uniquely-Regal Horrific character, "Sitsit!" explained Roselle Monteverde, the daughter of Regal matriarch, Mother Lily Monteverde.

This Christmas, "Haunted Forest will take the audience to an uncomfortable place, a realm where nothing is safe. Where everyone can be a victim or the suspect. 

"This would also not just creating fear, but also reflection our viewers' lives - we'll think about family, friendship, love and what really truly matters for us, " Direk Ian said.
