We go to the Philippines for our next Halloween month horror goodie… the new pinoy film “Tiyanaks”.
The synopsis reads: “Something beyond comprehension is happening to Sheila (Rica Peralejo). The signs are clear: evil has returned… older, stronger and there is nowhere to hide. Many believe that when a baby dies without baptism, it leads to the possession of evil. Sheila, Rina (Jennylyn Mercado), Christian (Mark Herras) and Kerwin (JC De Vera) along with their friends do not believe in such stories. Against the advice of a concerned mythology professor, they decided to take an out of town trip during the holy week. They have other things in mind.
Christian wants to start courting Rina, Kerwin wants to beat Christian to it, Hanz wants to spend time with his boyfriend and Rex simply wants to have fun. In the beginning, it would seem like they made the right choice. Then certain events, all seeming to revolve around the dreams and premonitions of Sheila about young evil lurking in the area, are deeply disturbing: disappearance, mysterious children, a strange old woman… The troubling incidents multiply, pointing to something wrong – terribly wrong – and it seems they have no way out. Then tragedy strikes closer when one of them turns out to be evil himself. Now, they realize that some of them must make the ultimate sacrifice to prevent the unspeakable terror that awaits them all. Some of them have to die for some to live.”
