Full
Synopsis:
The film is presented as a part-documentary by a TV announcer, Danny
Valencia, from "found videotape" he discovered at the site of a 2003
tragedy in the Philippine Sagada Mountains. There are a few interview scenes at
the beginning, but most of the film is the main story. On December 25, 2003, an
upscale Filipino family gathers at a remote place in the mountains, some
distance from any town, for a Christmas Day reunion dinner. Their holiday is
disrupted by a series of bizarre, supernatural, and deadly events. The group is
cut off from civilization and plunged into darkness by forces that defy natural
laws and shut down all modern technology. One by one, the family members die or
disappear in weird and horrific ways. The few who are left, including the main
character Susan, struggle for survival and against family conflicts, to find
out what is happening to them and how to survive. Finally they discover to
their own shock, who their true tormentor is, as well as how and why these
terrible things are happening. Is it too late to keep the rest of them from
dying? Is the fate that awaits them even worse than death or hell? Does a
mystical book they find hold the key to controlling the dark forces that
threaten to unleash ghosts and demons of an evil past? And finally, can they
trust each other, or even themselves to contain the fears that threaten to
destroy them? Suspense and mystery keep you unsettled and guessing till the
very end, when the fate and outcome of all is finally revealed.
