                    [Summary] =>

This time, he goes mainstream with the commercial release of Star Cinema’s horror-suspense, ’Wag Kang Lilingon. In the twinbill presentation, Quark works at the helm of the episode, Uyayi, which stars Anne Curtis. The other episode, Salamin, is directed by Jerry Sineneng and stars Kristine Hermosa.

I call it Keka.

Keka
is Quark Henares’ latest film, a slasher spoof which goes beyond expectations as far as humor and social insights are concerned.

Aniya, nagpapapansin lang yata ito at nakikisakay sa sinapit ng kinita ng latest flick nitong Keka.

Pinasalamatan pa rin ni Katya si Kat de Santos sa mga ginagawa nitong pagtulong sa pagpo-promote ng kanyang pelikula na Nena Inosente dahil napag-uusapan sila. At ang mas nakakatawang gimik nito ay ang ginawang mga pamumudmod ng condom na ayon sa kampo ni Katya ay ka-cheapan daw!

The title doesn’t exactly give you a clue as to what the film is all about. Is it comedy? Is it sex (what with Katya Santos there)? Is it horror? Or is it the biggest horror of them all, a remake of Seiko Films’ Kokak?

Keka
is actually romance, comedy and violence – an unlikely combination that strangely works beautifully on the big screen.

In fairness, impressive ang pelikula starring Katya, Wendell Ramos, Vhong Navarro with Jordan Herrera, Bobby Andrews, Ryan Eigenmann, TJ Trinidad, among others under the direction of Quark Henares.

Black comedy ang pelikula at wala talagang hubaran as in walang ipinakitang flesh si Katya at kahit si Wendell.
