Francine Diaz, at the age of 21, may already be proud of her success in showbiz over the last decade. At the age of ten, the former child actor began her acting career by playing small parts in ABS-CBN series, beginning with her portrayal of a young Ellen Adarna in the 2015 teleserye Pasion de Amor. Francine’s fame has continued to grow since she was cast in the 2025 Metro Manila Film Festival entry Shake, Rattle & Roll Evil Origins, following her breakthrough performance as Cassie Mondragon in the 2018 popular series Kadenang Ginto.
As she stars in her debut horror movie, actress Francine Diaz is venturing into uncharted terrain and reaching a significant turning point in her youthful but quickly developing career. The Kapamilya actress revealed how much work she and the entire crew put into the production, sharing both her delight and anxiety about tackling the genre.
Speaking at a media conference for the film, Diaz acknowledged that she had always wanted to explore horror, but she also understood it would be difficult for her as an actor.
According to Diaz, horror required a different kind of emotional stamina and physical performance.
She recalled several intense sequences that pushed her out of her comfort zone.
While full plot details are being kept under wraps, the movie centers around a family confronted by an unexplained presence haunting their new home.
Diaz plays the role of a daughter who becomes the focal point of the supernatural disturbances, forcing her character to confront both literal and emotional ghosts.
The production teased that the film combines psychological horror, family drama, and Filipino folklore, promising both jumpscares and deeply emotional moments.
Fans flooded social media with encouraging words when the clip was released, expressing their pride at seeing Diaz broaden her horizons.
Based on the early teasers, many applauded her strong reactions and her acting depth.
The film is set to premiere later this year, with Diaz hinting at more unexpected twists and powerful scenes awaiting viewers.
