ROB GOMEZ TAPS INTO HIS DARING SIDE IN 'STRANGE FREQUENCIES'

"With what I've done, yes, (I feel) very lucky that I've done them."

That was Rob Gomez speaking of the small and big screen roles and projects that he forayed into so far in his young, promising career in a chat with The STAR.

"Of course, I would love to do more roles, diverse roles," added he, who is part of this year's Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) entry, "Strange Frequencies: Taiwan Killer Hospital."

The local adaptation of the Korean box-office hit "Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum" has, in a way, tapped the daring and brave side of Rob in playing a character who is himself and stepping into the premises of Taiwan's Xinglin Hospital, where an eerie atmosphere and unusual manifestations are commonplace.

Rob as Rob is entering an "unfamiliar territory," along with Enrique Gil, Jane De Leon, Alexa Miro and MJ Lastimosa as amateur ghosthunters and themselves.

Enrique is the group's leader with tarot reader Raf Pineda and content creator Ryan "Zarckaroo" Azurin in tow to navigate their way in and out of a most haunted place.

Asked when such a unique project landed in his lap, Rob answered, "I think (it came at the time when) I just wrapped 'Tadhana' and then we got a movie."
