"Iba ‘to. Kahit ako, nagda-dubbing kami ni Direk. [Sabi ko], ‘Direk, sakit na ng heart ko, labas muna tayo.’ Kahit ako ‘di ko kayang panoorin, matatakutin kasi ako,” Kim confessed. “Iba. If napanood n’yo na ‘yung past horror movies ko, ito na, ito na ‘yung rurok."

In this spine-tingling movie, Kim plays Donna Suarez, a journalist who comes across a mysterious case involving a particular road marred by accidents. When an unfortunate fate comes upon her own brother, with ties to the same road, Donna becomes more convinced to dig deeper.

Roderick Cabrido, the director of "U-Turn", explained that the film is in fact relatable: “‘Yung story n’ya ay napapanahon. Kung ano po ‘yung nangyayari ngayon, real news to fake news, malaki pong bagay ‘yung message ng pelikula.”
