In her own post, Alonzo said that she was grateful for the opportunity to step her acting shoes onto the horror genre, sharing stellar billing with Santos, who has not made a film like this since “Itim” back in 1978.

“I can’t even begin to tell you how overwhelming this is,” Alonzo said. “All the good opportunities, the people [I] have been dreaming to be working with, the concepts [I] have been dying to be working on,  all coming together at the same time.”

Another great opportunity 🙏🏻 ——————————- This afternoon, we had a story conference for our new movie “EERIE” which is going to be directed by Mikhail Red..
