Barbie Forteza on first solo film 'P77': 'This must be a dream'
Barbie Forteza has been in show business for 15 years, but still has roles she dreams of taking on, including starring in a horror film.

At the same time, she said that it's also a challenge that she has been looking for as an actress. "It's very different, and especially for this film, it's a different kind of horror because it attacks your mind," she told GMA News Online. 'More than the jump scare, it's really what's going inside your head that is [scarier],' she added. 'Parang fear lives in your mind so mas 'yun 'yung kakalikutin natin sa pelikula na 'to.' "P77," which stands for Penthouse 77, will also star Euwenn Mikaell, Gina Pareño, and Jackie Lou Blanco. The film is directed by Derick Cabrido, the filmmaker behind the Metro Manila Film Festival 2023 entry "Mallari," and produced by GMA Pictures and Clever Minds Inc.
