Tagalog-dubbed Thai thriller on Cinema One

MANILA, Philippines - The 2009 Thai thriller film, The Scout, is set to have its cable TV premiere via Cinema One’s Blockbuster Sunday tonight at 8.

Dubbed in Tagalog, the film follows the story of scouts who embark on an adventure to an ancient temple to witness a lunar eclipse. Because of campfire stories about a legendary god who serves as the temple’s protector, the scouts go on a treasure hunt, but find themselves lost in a parallel universe. The biggest hurdle of the longest night of their lives is to find their way back before the eclipse traps them.

Directed and written by Preaw Sirisuwan, The Scout will also have an encore airing the following Saturday on Cinema One at 9 p.m. It also stars Apisarit Adisasurarak, Weerayoot Kaengkan, Rimpawe Krueangsai, Naratid Namkang Somsak Ubolmwannee and Kazuki Yano.
