Behind Closed Doors of ‘Ang Happy Homes ni Diane Hilario’
From sharing laughter to trembling in thrills, what happens to a close-knit neighborhood when a series of sudden deaths enter their joy-filled community?
Ang Happy Homes ni Diane Hilario is a drama-thriller film that follows the story of tenants living in a tenement building, Happy Homes. A community braced by the behind-the-closed-door stories of tenants, their compassion and love for each other.
However, things change when one loss becomes a series of unrelated deaths — shattering the community’s trust among themselves. Could you identify a killer inside a community built on trust and happiness?
This film was powerfully directed by Marlon Rivera, one of the creators of Ang Babae Sa Septic Tank. It redefines the concept of kapitbahay in the middle of fear, disorder, and mystery. It challenges how far people will go to protect one another — and themselves.
The film stars renowned celebrities Eugene Domingo, Richard Yap, Paolo Contis, Luis Alandy, and Angeline Quinto as Diane Hilario.
