Official Synopsis

Iza and Dimples in their first full-length project together

Bringing their depth and experience to the screen, Iza and Dimples portray characters that challenge conventional hero and villain roles.

“Pareho kaming bida at kontrabida dito. Malalaman niyo nalang pag pinanuod niyo kung sino ang mas kontrabida!” Iza said.

(We are both protagonists and antagonists here. You’ll only find out who is more of a villain once you watch the film!)

This marks their first time working together on the big screen. Both versatile actresses expressed excitement about collaborating on a film that blurs the lines between good and evil.

“Pareho kaming nag-aalaga. Nakatuon kami sa pamilya namin, pero patuloy din ang aming mga karera. Pero ang pangunahing prayoridad namin ay ang pamilya,” said Dimples.

(As mothers, our priority is always family, no matter how demanding our careers are.)

There’s no place like home

At its core, The Caretakers explores the lengths one will go to protect their family and the idea of home. The film has themes that deeply resonant with both lead actresses.

Dimples emphasized the significance of caretakers in every household: “Kung paano kami mga ina na gagawin ang lahat para sa aming pamilya. Ang isa ay hinahabol ang pisikal na tahanan, ang isa naman ay seguridad. Parehong nais protektahan ang pamilya nila.

(How we are mothers that will do everything for our families. One is after a physical home, the other one is after security. Both just wanting to save their families.)

“Bilang mga magulang, tayo ang itinalagang ‘tagapag-alaga.’ Bukod sa pag-aalaga sa kanila sa pisikal na aspeto, dapat din nating alagaan ang kanilang mental na kalusugan sa pamamagitan ng paggalang sa kanila.”

(As parents, we are the assigned 'caretakers.' Aside from taking care of them physically, we should take care of their mental health by respecting them.)

A fresh collaboration

Regal Entertainment and Rein Entertainment join forces to deliver a fresh take on Filipino horror.

Under the leadership of Roselle Monteverde and Keith Monteverde, Regal continues its legacy of producing gripping horror films, while Rein Entertainment brings its expertise in internationally acclaimed storytelling.

Meanwhile, here is the full trailer of the movie:

Both Iza and Dimples share the burning passion of seeing how the new management of Ms. Roselle Monteverde and her son, Keith Monteverde, honors the legacy of the film production company's late matriarch, Mother Lily Monteverde.

Inspired by supernatural lore and deep-rooted beliefs, The Caretakers taps into folk horror. Moreover, it's about the unseen forces that dwell in the land we live on.

“Ang pelikula ay nagpapakita na hindi lang tayo ang nabubuhay sa mundong ito, kaya dapat natin itong igalang. Igalang natin ang lugar na ating tinitirhan at alagaan ito,” shared Roselle.

(The film also tells us that we are not the only ones living in this Earth, and we have to respect it. Respect the place where we live, take care of it.)

"We are thrilled to collaborate with Rein Entertainment and Direk Shugo Praico on our opening salvo for 2025," Keith shared. "This partnership holds so much potential, and we can't wait for audiences to experience the incredible work we've put into this film."

Immerse yourself in fear, suspense, and the ultimate horror experience designed for the big screen. Don’t miss The Caretakers—haunting cinemas nationwide on February 26, 2025.
