Prangka kung magsalita ang young star na si Andi Eigenmann. Sa presscon para horror film na Shake, Rattle & Roll XII ay ipinagmalaki niyang hindi siya madaling matakot.
Naganap ang presscon noong Nobyembre 25 sa Imperial Suites Hotel, Quezon City.
Lead actress si Andi sa isa sa mga episodes ng horror film franchise film, na kasali sa nalalapit nang Metro Manila Film Festival.
Sa Shake, Rattle & Roll XII, makakalaban ni Andi ang mga mala-diwatang halimaw na nais siyang dalhin sa ibang mundo. Ito ay para sa "Isla Engkanto" episode na directed by Topel Lee. Bukod kay Andi, mapapanood rin sa episode na ito sina Rayver Cruz, Regine Angeles, Kristel Moreno, Niña Jose and John "Sweet" Lapus.
"My boyfriend broke up with me so I go on vacation to this island with my friends," ani Andi tungkol sa "Isla Engkanto" episode ng SRR XII. "[I didn't know] na may mga engkanto pala roon and the hari ng engkanto falls in love with me at gusto kong dalhin sa kingdom niya. When I get there, I meet Rayver Cruz, na ang girlfriend pala got lost in the island kasi nakuha rin ng engkanto."
Kuwento ni Andi, naging madali raw ang shooting ng pelikula dahil sa hindi siya duwag sa mga multo.
"Mahilig ho talaga ako sa mga ganyan, yung mga maligno maligno na 'yan, mga witchcraft and spirits and staff. Sobrang it interests me a lot. That's why nga, gusto ko ngang ano sa horror, e. Just to see the difference," sabi ng anak ng veteran actress na si Jaclyn Jose.
Sa katunayan, madalas nga raw niyang takutin ang kanyang sarili.
"I like being alone. May pagka-introvert ako, anti-social. Lumalabas ako, mag-isa. Minsan pag wala akong magawa, tinatakot ko pa nga yung sarili ko, e.
"Saka nagagalit ako sa mommy ko kapag gusto niya akong tabihan sa kuwarto. Binubuksan niya yun ilaw, ayaw ko. Gusto ko sobrang dilim, tapos ako lang mag-isa. Pag pinakialaman ako, hindi ako nakakatulog," saad ni Andi.
Magaan nga raw ang naging shooting niya ng kanyang episode dahil lagi siyang pinapatawa ng kanyang direktor na si Topel Lee.
"Enjoy na enjoy kami ni Topel sa mga eksenang yun kasi sa amin, sa set namin, sobrang lights lang. Para lamang kaming naglalaro. Tapos lagi nila akong niloloko, nina Topel, kasi wala, slow ako.
"Tapos nung ginagawa ko yung eksena na parang inaatake ako. Siyempre wala naman akong makita. Gumaganon ganon lang ako.
"Tawa kami ng tawa. Naka-ilang ulit kami kasi si Topel, sinasabi niya, 'Ano ba 'yan, para ka namang baliw d'yan?' Nakakatawa daw yung ginagawa ko."
Nang tanungin kung ano ang pinakamahirap na ginawa niya para sa pelikula, ito ang sinabi ni Andi: "My most difficult scene here is when I get attacked by small winged fairies called lambana. Dapat, i-acting kong I'm trying to fight them off but dahil CGI effects lang sila, siyempre, wala naman talaga akong kalaban and they'll just be added later as animation. At first, hindi ko makuha so our director, Topel Lee, guided me."
Gayunpaman, umaasa pa rin si Andi na matatakot ang mga manonood kapag nakita na nila ang kanyang "Isla Engkanto" episode sa Shake, Rattle and Roll XII. Ipapalabas ito sa mga sinehan simula December 25, 2010.
