StoryIn 1899, during the Spanish conquest in the Philippines, there lived a wealthy mestizo family, the Dela Vega. They had an only daughter named Maria, known to be enthusiastic and kind to the people around her. She became friends with the son of a family maid named Simon, who is also an errand boy and they eventually became lovers. The Americans arrived in the Philippines shortly after the Spanish conquest. Simon decided to enlist in the army to defend the country. Due to circumstances, he became a prisoner of war. With the Spanish and American occupation ceased, he returned to his hometown and decided to look for Maria dela Vega once more. At a small gathering in the mansion he and his mother used to work in, he sneaked in and pretended to be a guest. He soon knew of her succeeding her family’s legacy and her engagement to another rich gentleman. The news filled him with rage, enough to have a heated confrontation with Maria for the first time in months. The rage lead Simon in committing a crime of passion, raping and killing Maria, as well as killing her fiancé. Filled with guilt, the man took his own life by hanging himself up a balete tree. In 2008, a journalist named Ara Cruz was in need of finding news worthy of saving the newspaper company that she works for. She receives information of people disappearing in an abandoned mansion in a secluded area in the Northern Philippines. Ara, together with her assistant Jon "Jolo" Luigi, drive to the abandoned mansion at night to uncover the story themselves. Much to Ara's need of assistance, Jolo falls asleep during their travel, leaving her to enter the haunted property alone, fighting hordes of zombies along the way. In the end, she defeats Simon's evil form and helps the souls of Maria and Simon reunite, where they depart to the afterlife. Ara quickly escapes the now-burning mansion and is then attacked by a Manananggal. After the end credits, Ara is seen returning to her office where she picks up Maria's mirror that she got from the mansion. Her reflection suddenly changes into a demonic look. It is unknown if this is an illusion or if she is possessed by the Manananggal.
