SM Cinema’s Holiday Treats to Cinephiles: Supremo, Rurouni Kenshin, House at the End of the Street, Talaash and The Bay

Cinema-goers are sure to have a more exciting holiday season with SM Cinema’s exclusive movies showing this December. This Christmas season, SM Cinema will take you on a ride to different places and time with its CinExclusives—from 1896 Manila to Meiji era Japan to present day India.

On December 5, turn back the hands of time and see Manila just a few years before the dawn of Philippine Independence in the film Supremo. This biopic takes the audience back to 1896—the time when the cry for independence from the tyranny of Spain peals louder than ever. Supremo chronicles the struggles of Andres Bonifacio, the supreme leader (Supremo) of the rebel movement the Katipunan, as a husband, brother, patriot and hero. The film is directed by Richard Somes and stars Alfred Vargas.

Have a glimpse of the late 19^th Century Japan in Rurouni Kenshin: Samurai X. The movie is set during the early days of the Meiji Restoration when the country was still in turmoil. The film narrates the adventures of Kenshin Himura, a peace-loving samurai who is constantly haunted by his bloody past. Anime lovers, manga enthusiasts, Otakus and those who simply love action films will surely enjoy the exploits of the wandering samurai, who has been part of many Filipinos’ childhood because of the anime series Samurai X. Sato Takeru plays Kenshin. The film opens on December 5.

Although it’s already December, SM Cinema still has a treat for those who want to have a post-Halloween fun with House at the End of the Street. In this horror-thriller film, mother and daughter have moved to the house of their dreams in a small upscale town only to find out about the town’s chilling secrets that could lead them to their graves. House at the End of the Street stars Jennifer Lawrence who played Katniss Everdeen in the blockbuster The Hunger Games. The movie opens on the 5^th of December.

Talaash: The Answer Lies Within will take fans on adrenalin-pumping adventures with Inspector Shekhawat, whose son has died in a fatal accident that also killed a rising Bollywood star. Digging deeper into the case, he finds himself entangled in a web of mystery. The cast includes Aamir Khan who also starred in the highest-grossing Bollywood film of all time in India, 3 Idiots, and Karena Kapoor, the award-winning Indian actress who was also Khan’s co-star in the said film. The movie opens on December 12.

In The Bay, a reporter gives light to an eerie event that claimed over 700 human lives in the quaint seaside town of Claridge, Maryland. The film uncovers the mysterious parasitic outbreak that happened 3 years ago. The cast includes stars Kristen Connolly, Jane McNeill and Christopher Denham. This sci-fi thriller opens on December 19.
