Aga Muhlach Thriller Movie “Sa Aking Mga Kamay” Screens In Cine Lokal

Before his fans get to see matinee idol again on the big screen via Star Cinema’s latest movie offering “Seven Sundays,” catch multi-awarded actor Aga Muhlach in one of his most challenging roles as a serial killer on the loose in the ABS-CBN’s digitally restored and remastered film “Sa Aking Mga Kamay” this week in “Cine Lokal” at selected SM Cinemas.

ABS-CBN Film Restoration Group participates in this month’s run of “Cine Lokal,” a project by the Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP) and SM Cinemas where eight theaters are dedicated to screen films selected by FDCP that include award-winning Filipino movies, independent films, and classic films.

“Sa Aking Mga Kamay” is a film about a handsome serial killer at large named Gene Rivera (Aga), who preys on unfaithful wives.


Watch Sa Aking Mga Kamay (1996) Teaser [Digitally Restored and Remastered]


Since 2011, ABS-CBN Film Restoration Project has been restoring classic films to help preserve Philippine cinematic history. Together with Central Digital Lab, it has become the first restoration effort to be done within the country.

The advocacy campaign already earned recognitions from the International Gold Quill Awards, Philippine Quill Awards, and Anvil Awards not just for its cause to save classic movies, but for its effort to bring it to a wider and younger generation of audience through local screenings,

Trailer: Ilawod (2017)

Ilawod is a decent psychological local horror film that has all the elements of scare factor that pinoy audience would like to watch. Simple plot but done very well.

The story is easy to catch to. Good performance for all of the cast from Iza Calzado, Ian Veneracion, Xyriel Manabat, Harvey Bautista, Therese Malvar up to Epy Quizon. As always Therese Malvar stands out as an effective villain for this film. We can say for this film that director Dan Villegas cannot only do a romcom genre but also can do a horror flick effectively. No jump scares, Ilawod relies on it's own plot and dynamics to keep the story line going.

Ilawod is the story of a family's breakdown in the midst of a demonic attack. Dennis, a reporter, accidentally invites the ilawod-the elemental of water that flows downstream-into his home, where it latches onto his young son, Ben. What follows is a battle for not just the family's lives, but their souls as well.

Manila Boy (tagalog movie)

Robin Padilla projects a role far diferent from his image as a bad boy.

He has a soft heart for the throngs in the city and has an open heart for the needy.

Because of this down to earth attitude, the women find him charming and irresistable.
