Clarita is a 2019 Philippine supernatural horror film directed by Derick Cabrido and starring Jodi Sta.

[1] Director Derick Cabrido first learned about the story while he was still working with the GMA television series Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho through newspaper clippings.

[2] Cabrido leaned to director-writer Cenon Palomares to help adapt the story into a feature film.

[2] The production team largely had to rely to newspaper clippings since broadcast media in the Philippines in the 1950s was absent with the country still recovering from the aftermath of World War II.

However the team decided against using the material due to it being deemed too "personal" and failure to secure consent from the Catholic Church, and the parties directly involved.
