Piolo Pascual does his first thriller film 'Silong'

MANILA, Philippines - Piolo Pascual unleashes his dark side as he stars in the thriller film "Silong."

Here he portrays the role of Miguel, the guy who will help a stranger named Valerie portrayed by Rhian Ramos.

"It's a mystery, kakaiba nga siya. Maski our roles nakakagulat. Iba ang twist ng roles namin," he said about his role, in an interview on Friday before the press screening of their film.

The Kapamilya actor said he wanted to do the project to give his fans something new to see.

"Minsan gusto natin 'yong hindi natin usually nakikita," he explained. "I guess for the love of what we do, for the sake of art, respect for the craft, giving back and for giving us work."

As for his leading lady, Piolo said their work went smoothly because Rhian was easy to work with.

"Rhian was one of the easiest I've worked with," he said about Rhian. "Wala kang maririnig na complain. Sobrang bait sa set, walang paki sa cut off. Kaya masarap kasi we're all having fun, we're enjoying. Masarap katrabaho si Rhian kasi we're on the same page, gusto namin magtrabaho nang maayos."

Catch Piolo and Rhian's film "Silong" on August 14 at the Cultural Center of the Philippines, which is the closing film for the Cinemalaya film festival 2015.
