SUNDO: Suspense-Thriller of 2009

CEBU, Philippines - When death is near, who will come to pick you up?

Will it be a loved one, a relative or a friend, who passed away? Or perhaps a cordial soul, an attendant spirit, to lead you to the greater world?

But what if death arrives in the form of a scrawny old woman, horrid, ruthless and menacing? Will you give in to the tragic hands of fate or will you fight back… no matter what price you have to pay?

Showing this March 18, action superstar Robin Padilla teams up with Sunshine Dizon, Rhian Ramos and Katrina Halili in a race against death in SUNDO - GMA Films’ biggest and most-anticipated horror-suspense thriller of the year.

It takes after the age-old legend that departed mortals come to pick up their family or friends who are in the brink of death.

In Sundo, Romano (Robin Padilla), a retired military operative who goes into seclusion, discovers that he has the uncanny ability of seeing ghosts around people who will soon encounter sudden, disastrous deaths. Worried of his brother, Romano’s blind sister Isabel (Rhian Ramos) persuades him to return to Manila with the help of Louella (Sunshine Dizon), Romano’s childhood friend who harbors affection for him. 

An aspiring actress, Kristina (Katrina Halili), a widow, Lumen (Glydel Mercado), and his son, Eric (Hero Angeles) hitch a ride with Romano, Isabel and Louella along with Louella’s driver, Baste (Mark Bautista).

On their way back to the city, the group manages to avoid a fatal accident on the road and their respective “sundo” by a twist of fate. Unaware that their sudden brush with death would cause them the most ruthless battle they will ever come to face.

In Romano’s hands lie the fates of his companions as he tries to uncover the mystery behind his premonitions. Will he be able to find the missing link of the puzzle and save the rest of the passengers before it’s too late?

From the creators of Ouija comes another spine-tingling, high-powered, and big-budgeted motion picture under the brilliant direction of Toppel Lee. The movie guarantees to blow your mind with its cutting-edge visual effects and world-class cinema-tography unmatched by any suspense-horror picture ever been shown before.

It’s a toss between life and death as the stars of Sundo struggle to defeat the wrath of the evil spirit and survive the looming threat of death in their lives.

Catch Robin Padilla and the rest of the cast in their grisly race against death and the retribution that awaits them in SUNDO, showing on March 18.
