If you meet a good-looking guy, perhaps as tall and handsome as Andre Paras, and you didn’t know he’s not the normal kind of guy, but rather the kind that stalks humans in the dark of night for a meal, would you fall for him?
In the upcoming horror-comedy flick by Wenn V. Deramas, the tall and handsome Andre Paras is cast as Duke Wang, a member of a family called Wang Fam. Well, that’s also the title of the movie, and Paras plays an aswang that eventually falls for a human Elenita (played in the film by Yassi Pressman).
Now, if you’re a die-hard fan of this to die-for young hunk, you wouldn’t mind being bitten, right?
Whatever image you have of Halloween, let Viva Films’ Wang Fam be your ultimate Halloween flick this year. All-time box office director Deramas takes his first shot at the horror-comedy genre, and with his blockbuster record, expect thrills and laughs all the way, fortified by the stellar cast of versatile comedienne Pokwang, Benjie Paras, Andre Paras, Yassi Pressman, and child star Alonzo Muhlach.
Like what she does in every role, Pokwang brings her A-game once again as Malou, the last virgin of the aswang clan destined to be sacrificed for their race’s survival. But the ritual, supposed to be undertaken by Malou’s brother Jok-Jok (Wendell Ramos), gets nipped in the bud when she meets botanist Bu Wang (Benjie Paras). Malou and Bu instantly fall in love and decide to build a family away from the aswang clan.
The marriage produces three kids: Duke Wang (Andre Paras), Cala Wang (Abby Bautista) and Vey Wang (Alonzo Muhlach). Together, the Wang Family moves into a new town where they meet Kay Sera (Candy Pangilinan), the nosy landlady who is highly suspicious of them.
Kay Sera has an only daughter, Elenita (Yassi Pressman), who catches Duke’s fancy.
As the Wang Family try their hardest to fit in and lead normal lives, Jok-Jok is able to track them down and tricks Elenita and Duke into eloping so as to carry out his plan of sacrificing a virgin.
Can the Wang Family save themselves from the clutches of Jok-Jok before it’s too late?, This is also the first film together of father and son, Benjie and Andre Paras.
Fans of YaNdre (Yassi and Andre) can feast their eyes on various kilig moments between the two.
The gorgeous pair first heated up the screen in the smashing romcom of 2014, Diary Ng Panget.
Adding zest to this film are Pangilinan, Ramos, Joey Paras, Bautista, Atak Arana, and Dyosa Pockoh, whose online videos earned him the title “Viral Diva”
Showing in theatres nationwide on Nov. 18, Wang Fam lets you indulge in the Halloween spirit a little while longer.
