Thrills and laughs in Wang Fam

MANILA, Philippines – Whatever image you have of Halloween, let Viva Films’ Wang Fam be your ultimate Halloween flick this year. Box-office director Wenn Deramas takes his first shot at the horror-comedy genre, and with his blockbuster record, expect thrills and laughs all the way, fortified by the stellar cast of Pokwang, Benjie Paras, Andre Paras, Yassi Pressman and Alonzo Muhlach.

Like what she does in every role, Pokwang brings her A-game once again as Malou, the last virgin of the aswang clan destined to be sacrificed for their race’s survival. But the ritual, supposed to be undertaken by Malou’s brother Jok-Jok (Wendell Ramos), gets nipped in the bud when she meets botanist Bu Wang (Benjie). Malou and Bu instantly fall in love and decide to build a family away from the aswang clan.

The marriage produces three kids: Duke Wang (Andre), Cala Wang (Abby Bautista) and Vey Wang (Alonzo). Together, the Wang Family moves into a new town where they meet Kay Sera (Candy Pangilinan), the nosy landlady highly suspicious of them.

Kay Sera has an only daughter, Elenita (Yassi), who catches Duke’s fancy.
As the members of Wang Family try their hardest to fit in and lead normal lives, Jok-Jok is able to track them down and tricks Elenita and Duke into eloping so as to carry out his plan of sacrificing a virgin.

Can the Wang Family save themselves from the clutches of Jok-Jok before it’s too late?

Wang Fam will open on Nov. 18 in theaters nationwide.
