Latak (Residue)

Posted by AJ in July 2nd 2008

What if a nightmare faces you?

What happens when your hallucinations are fast catching up with reality?

From the writer and director (Jowee Morel) of “Mga Paru-parong Rosas” and “When a Gay Man Loves” comes another compelling digital independent film, Latak.

Latak is a film about a young director, Andrew Locsin, and his discovery of the cruel betrayal of his lover and friends. His vice triggers a destructive entanglement of his dark past:

An ordeal that was haunting his unconscious and graphic memory, surfaces. Thrown into a mix of spine-chilling hallucinations and paranoia he comes face to face with the mysterious ghosts of a mother and a girl. With no one to trust, the demons in his nightmares appear in his fight for survival in a horrifying doomed reality.

In a modern trendy setting, “Latak” depicts the grim reality of the middle class Philippines that the poor Filipinos dream of.

Extracted from a tumultuous true to life events, the film will take you into the dark side of grim reality.

The film stars young and upcoming actors as well as a star-studded support cast. Newcomers Marc Jacob, Zach Urdaneta, Mercedes Cabral, Chanel Latorre and Pia Millado topbill this very promising film from Outline Digital Films. Also in the film are Tiya Pusit, Dan Alvaro, Chito Alcid and Boy Villasanta.

I’ve seen a lot of independent digital films (and their trailers) but this one, I can say, seems like one which will not disappoint. Check out the trailer and more information at http://www.LatakMovie.com
