Ritualistic rapes and pagan sacrifices are at the center of this melodramatic Filipino film, directed by Carlos Siguion-Reyna. Thanks to an El Nino-inspired drought, a remote village's crop withers and dies. Villagers fear the re-emergence of a long-quiescent death cult that demands the oblation of young maidens. When newly-arrived priest Father Joey (Tonton Gutierrez) notices a marked decrease in his congregation, everyone fears the worst. ~ Jonathan Crow, Rovi
