make a mark in the Philippine horror cinema. "Stories about the Filipino tradition of

the likes of Albularyo (Village Healer), Shamans, witches and warlocks.
And in our film, the viewers will not just be horrified, they'll somehow be challenged to think
as to how faith healing has already been part of the our culture, "Vilma narrated.
