Is Nadine Lustre the new horror queen?

- By CHARMIE JOY PAGULONG

"I'm honored. But two films palang naman kasi and I feel like it's too early. I don't know. But if you want to call me horror queen, it's OK. Thank you. Haha!"

Nadine reacted when asked about it during the presscon and special cinema screening of "Nokturno" at the Gateway Cinema 18, powered by Gomo.

"Nokturno" director Mikhail Red and Nadine's co-actor Wilbert Ross were also present at the event.

"Nokturno," now streaming on Prime Video, is Nadine's second starrer horror film following the 2022 Metro Manila Film Festival horror flick "Deleter," also helmed by direk Mikhail. "Deleter" bagged the Best Picture, Best Director (Mikhail Red), Best Actress in a Leading Role (Nadine), Best Cinematography, Best Editing, Best Visual Effects and Best Sound awards at the MMFF.

"Nokturno," on the other hand, is produced by Viva Films, Evolve Studios and Studio Viva, which also stars Bea Binene, Eula Valdez and JJ Quilantang.

Nadine takes on the lead role of Jamie, an overseas worker who comes home from Dubai following the sudden and violent death of her sister, Joana (Bea).
