IT Girls of Horror - Give Audiences the Biggest Scare in "The Debutantes" on October 4

Sue Ramirez, Miles Ocampo, Michelle Vito, Jane De Leon and Chanel Morales, dubbed as the "It Girls" of horror films, will spread chills and thrills in this year's most exciting and terrifying movie, "The Debutantes", in cinemas October 4.

"The Debutantes" serves as the five millenial stars' biggest break under director Prime Cruz, the same director who gave us "Ang Manananggal sa Unit 23-B."

The story of "The Debutantes" will revolve around Kate (Sue), a friendless and weird-looking student who tries to win the friendship of fellow students Lara (Miles), Jenny (Jane), Candice (Michelle) and Shayne (Chanel).

She, however, fails miserably in that she only gets close to one of them, Lara, while the rest of the girls find immeasurable joy in bullying her around. Kate then experiences a nightmare and warns them about it but they would not listen except for Lara. 

Together, these girls deliver a unique brand of horror in "The Debutantes", one that today's millenial generation can relate to as it delves into the subject of bullying within the campus.

In addition, churning out horror flicks that click with the audience is a forte of Regal Films.

The Debutantes is showing on October 4 in Cinemas Nationwide.

Janella's TV career reached bigger heights when she was paired with Elmo Magalona in the musical drama "Born for You."

She, too, was reunited with Richard Yap (of "Be Careful With My Heart" fame) in the latest installment of "Mano Po" in 2016.

This year, Elmo and Janella did another teen horror-flick, "Bloody Crayons."

Aside from acting, Janella also took to singing where her song, "Mahal Kita Pero"  finished third place in a pop song tilt.

She was also handpicked by Hong Kong Disneyland to represent the Philippines by recording its tenth anniversary theme song, "Happily Ever After," which is included in her self-titled limited edition album.

This early, fans are looking forward to the release of her new movie, "My Fairy Tail Love Story," a unique tale of love and romance between a dashing guy and a beautiful mermaid.

In fact, its teaser stirred quite a noise on social media as Elmo-Janella fans expressed excitement over their idols' upcoming team-up directed by Perci Intalan.

Apart from "My Fairy Tail Love Story," other meaty projects are being drawn to further strengthen Janella's status as this generation's teen superstar.
