synopsis:

WOWA
Director: Joebert Casas, Stars: Janice Basalo, Romnabel Gestopa
synopsis:
The turning-eighteen-year-old Aliah and her family return home in Guimbal for a summer vacation and also to celebrate her birthday at her WoWa’s house – the promise she told her grandmother in her grave days after she was murdered.

Almost ten (10) years have passed since WoWaAmalia was brutally killed inside her room and the suspect is still missing. The family’s stay at WoWa’s house this summer seem to unfold the mystery of the past. With the coming of their new helper, Flor, nights have become so horrifying.
Flor can hear crawling and scratching sounds on the ceiling every night. It is weird, though, that only Aliah and Flor can feel the strange things that are happening every night.

Is WoWa resting in peace despite not finding justice for her death, or is she still around to scare anyone who stays in her house and to ultimately find the person who killed her?
