"What makes it so special is 'yung uniqueness on how it was done. We used like 18 to 20 cameras to actually accomplish the shots na makikita sa movie. And then also, ang mga artista ang naging camera operators," Monteverde said.

"Yeah. I think it's the first in Philippine cinema that was shot this way. I think it's also cool that we as actors play ourselves, as Enrique. I think that's pretty cool and I haven't done anything like that before, something very interesting for this film and I'm super excited for that. Hopefully the fans and the audience will really like and enjoy it as well," said Gil, who is also co-producing the film.

"And what is impressive is, isipin niyo kung paano niyo ibebenta na gagawa tayo ng horror, ishu-shoot sa Taiwan. Oo medyo exciting 'yan pero you will play as yourself, immediately he jumped into it rather than, 'Sige pag-isipan ko muna kasi mahirap maglabas ng sarili,'" Matti said.
