She is bringing her actress and celebrity personality to it while interpreting a newbie ghosthunter.
This is not strange, but a possibility and a "reality" in a movie, done in meta, where real people portray themselves, and told in a found footage filmmaking. The genre is horror.
There are aspects in it that also inform the audience that what they're watching remains a film, if one may add.
"Growing up, I've always been passionate (about) and a fan of horror," said Alexa in a recent press conference for the film that also stars Enrique Gil, Rob Gomez, Jane de Leon, MJ Lastimosa as her fellow ghosthunters, with tarot reader Raf Pineda and content creator Ryan "Zarckaroo" Azurin.
"Pangarap ko rin at napanood ko kasi ito (it's also a dream and I also watched it)," added Alexa of doing a horror movie and "Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum," where "Strange Frequencies" was based on. The latter is a local adaptation.
The narrative is somehow born out of the situation when Zarckaroo, described as "a local video creator known for filming actual footage in some of the region's most haunted places and offbeat places," in a piece of information given to this paper, invites Enrique to do an episode for the former's YouTube channel. They both decide to turn it into a film, where the talents of Alexa, Jane, MJ and Rob have been tapped by Enrique, who takes on the role of an actor and co-producer.

FEELING RIZAL HOVER 'IN THE AIR' TONIGHT IN HEIDELBERG
HEIDELBERG, Germany—They say history is not just something we read or study; it is something we walk through. All our movements and moments become, in a sense, historic (with the magnitude of their historicity being relative, of course). History inhabits the air of cities—most especially old, grizzled ones such as Heidelberg in Germany with the hum and thrum of its cobblestones, where we recently echoed the footfalls not only of countless German figures who have shaped history but also of one Dr. Jose Rizal.
