Production

[edit]

Uninvited was co-produced by Mentorque Productions and Project 8 Projects with Dan Villegas as its director and Dodo Dayao as its writer.[6] While Dayao is credited as Uninvited's writer, co-star Vilma Santos provided significant output for the film's story. Due to Santos' candidacy for Batangas governor in the upcoming 2025 Philippine elections, production of the film was expedited.[7]

Mentorque have hinted that it has proposed seveal film projects for Santos as early as May 2024. Among these proposals were for a thriller film and Santos expressed interest to star in a type of project which she has never done before.[8] In August 2024, Mentorque announced its collaboration with Project 8 Projects for a "dark" film starring Santos.[9]

Principal photography was already underway for the film as of September 2024. Production for Uninvited needed to be finished by the end of the month to be an eligible entry for the second batch of films for the 2024 Metro Manila Film Festival.[10] The title of the film was announced in that month.[11]

Release

[edit]

Uninvited will be released theatrically in December 25, 2024 as one of the entries for the 50th Metro Manila Film Festival.[2] Warner Bros. Pictures are the distributor for the film.[7]
