About Mallari Movie:
Mallari is a Philippine horror film written by Enrico Santos and directed by Roderick Cabrido. It stars Piolo Pascual as Juan Severino Mallari, a Catholic priest who killed 57 people in the 19th century and is the first and only recorded serial killer in the Philippines.
Mallari premiered in cinemas in the Philippines on December 25, 2023, as one of the official entries of the 2023 Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF). Warner Bros. Philippines partnered with Mentorque, agreeing to be the film’s distributor. Despite having a multinational distributor, Mallari had to abide to MMFF regulations when it comes to cinema screenings. This is Warner Bros’ first mainstream film release of a Philippine production. Their last project in the Philippines was the limited release of Munting Tinig in 2003.
In addition, Star Cinema handled worldwide sales, which previously turned down on local distribution of the film although Warner Bros. will distribute the film in Thailand in May 1.
