Kaluskos is Coleen's first suspense film and the actress admitted that taking on the role became a big challenge for her.

"Ang alam natin sa horror, mga aswang, white lady, mga bad spirits. I don’t know if you will outrightly count ‘Kaluskos’ as a horror flick. But this is the closest to a horror film that I’ve done," she said in an interview with ABS-CBN News.

Coleen shared that she had been yearning to play a role the like the one she played in Kaluskos for a long time now.

She added: "In Kaluskos, I felt I had more room to really explore my character and worked on really developing my character."
