The movie stars Francine Diaz as Lea, a troubled teen who - after getting out of jail for petty theft, moves to Tenement 66 with her older brother Tony and cousin Ron-ron, hoping to start a new life away from the people who influenced her to commit crimes. But she soon finds out that there are far more sinister figures at the tenement whose crimes are worse than they could have imagined.

It also stars Francis Magundayao and Noel Comia Jr.

The 25th Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival will run from 8 to 21 July.
