Maja Salvador has done a number of horror films, like Sukob, Villa Estrella, and Shake, Rattle, and Roll XI. For these films and her latest thriller Cinco, Maja was dubbed as the new “Horror Princess.” While the young actress is pleased with her “title,” she made sure the distinction of being “Horror Queen” remained with Kris Aquino. “Si Tita Kris ang talagang Horror Queen. Sa kanya na ang mga horror movies. Natutuwa lang ako na sa kakagawa ko ng horror e tinatawag na akong ‘Horror Princess.’ Sa dami ng artista ngayon na nakakasabayan ko, natutuwa ako na ako ‘yung nabibigyan ng ganung title.” Kris top-billed the box-office horror movies Feng Shui and Sukob.
Maja, however, doesn’t think that she is being typecast in the horror genre. “Hindi naman ako natatakot na ma typecast sa horror. Marami na akong nagawang horror pero mas marami pa rin akong nagagawang hindi horror. Like ngayon ‘yung (Precious Hearts Romances presents) Impostor, comedy drama siya.”
She talked about how Cinco, a five-story movie, is different from the other horror films she had done before. “Ako naman dito ‘yung mumultuhin, ha ha ha! Sa Sukob ako ‘yung minumulto dun. Sa mga sumunod ako naman ‘yung nagmumulto, like sa Villa Estrella, Shake, Rattle, and Roll. Kakaiba ang story ng Mata, ‘yung episode namin. Ang hirap i-explain kasi baka ma-spoil ‘yung ending.”
Maja, one of the highly acclaimed actresses of her generation, confessed that she found her character in Cinco very challenging. “Dito ako nahirapan na gawin sunud sunod ‘yung mga scenes. Pataas kasi nang pataas ang emosyon sa story. Kailangan mo matutukan bawat eksena kasi mawawala. Nagtatanong talaga ako kay direk kung tama ba ‘yung continuity. Sana nagawa ko.”
In Cinco, Maja plays Rose, a woman who witnessed her fiancé commit a crime and was forced to keep quiet. Playing Maja’s fiancé is Rayver Cruz whom she had worked with in numerous teleseryes including the suspense series Spirits. Despite Cinco being a horror flick, will there be any intimate scenes between Maja and Rayver in the film? “Horror po ito, hindi love story, ha ha ha! Pero meron naman pong mga ilang eksena na nagsasayaw kami, naglalambingan, hawakan. Mas maraming gulatan at sigawan,” she answered.
Cinco also stars Mariel Rodriguez, Pokwang, Zanjoe Marudo, Jodi Sta. Maria, AJ Perez, Robi Domingo, and Sam Concepcion. The film opens nationwide on July 14.
