Philippines, 1945. Nearing the end of World War II, an affluent family lives stranded in their country mansion, tormented by the occupying Japanese soldiers who are losing grip over the island nation. Rumors spread that the patriarch, Aldo, stole Japanese gold and stashed it somewhere nearby. Aldo knows that his family will be slaughtered if they find the riches, so he escapes to seek help from the Americans. Soon they fear he will never return while sickness overtakes the mother. Searching for help, their young daughter, Tala, mistakenly places her trust in a beguiling, flesh-eating fairy, who desires to consume them all. (Sundance Film Festival)

I didn't expect this festival flick to turn out to be something like a Filipino version o Evil Dead. In many ways, it is a likeable genre flick, but at the same time, when compared with this year’s Evil Dead Rise, and in it, the Filipino Evil Fairy is pulling the short end of the stick. It lacks energy, it lacks pace.
