Vilma Santos and Aga Muhlach deliver career-defining performances in the 2024 Metro Manila Film Festival entry 'Uninvited'. As Eva Candelaria and Guilly Vega, respectively, they navigate a sinister narrative of revenge and hidden darkness.
When Philippine cinema titans Vilma Santos and Aga Muhlach tell you that you will see them as never before in the 2024 Metro Manila Film Festival entry ' Uninvited ,' you better believe it. Having watched the world premiere of this crime thriller from Mentorque Productions last December 23, I can guarantee that what they say isn't just the usual promotional hype.
As the film begins in the shadowed corners of opulence and despair, Ate Vi and Aga deliver performances so transformative that they redefine what it means for an artist to step into roles that genuinely push boundaries.It is Ate Vi's Eva Candelaria, cloaked in elegance and carrying the weight of 10 years of grief and vengeance, who sets the pace of this sinister narrative. She strides through the scene in measured steps to attend the lavish 55th birthday celebration of Aga's billionaire Guilly Vega. A man whose wealth and charm barely conceal the rot beneath his surface, he is responsible for the death of Eva's only child — her beloved daughter Lily, portrayed by Gabby Padilla, whose precious life she is there to bring to justice.While the flashbacks could have offered more to fully establish the backstory of mother and daughter Eva and Lily and the unbreakable depth of their bond, the film's brilliant musical score comes to the rescue, keeping audiences on the edge of their seats and thoroughly intrigued.The same can be said of Aga's dark inclination. Still, in hindsight, although nothing explicit was shown nor heavy-handed dialogue used to establish his perversion, the seasoned actor expertly rose to the challenge and delivered his role to the hilt. Holding nothing back and going big, his career-defining portrayal magnified the depravity of his character, turning every smirk and gesture into a subtle but chilling revelation.Aga's grand gestures were definitely the perfect complement to Ate Vi's controlled and haunting portraya
