It’s a common occurrence that actors in horror flicks sometimes experience the paranormal, so they say, during the filming of the movies. But for Sundo’s Katrina Halili and Sunshine Dizon, it was laughter they discovered all throughout the making of the Tofel Lee thriller.

"There was never a dull moment," recalled Sunshine, chuckling.

Aside from their enjoyment, Katrina and Sunshine also rediscovered friendship and have become best buddies.

Sundo, produced by GMA Films and Viva Films, is about the plight of Romano (Robin Padilla) who’s on his way back to her sister Isabel (Rhian Ramos) in Manila.

Carrying some passengers with him on his trip — Louella (Sunshine Dizon), Kristina (Katrina Halili), Lumen (Glydel Mercado), Eric (Hero Angeles) and Baste (Mark Bautista) — they manage to escape death by averting a fatal vehicular accident. Unfortunately their luck is the start of Romano’s horrifying death as he sees the "grim reaper" or "kamatayan" go after them!

So is Sundo about the fear of death?

"Actually I don’t think it is about the fear of death. . . it’s a horror film with all the necessary ingredients," said Sunshine.

How was it then working with director Toffel Lee and action star Robin Padilla?

"Toffel is very nice and a workaholic. You just can’t say no because if you’re tired he is more tired than you," said Katrina.

"He is sweet, always smiling. Robin makes you feel like a woman because he is a super gentleman," said Sunshine.
