ROH
Cut off from civilisation, a single mother puts her children on high alert when they bring home a young girl caked in clay. She tells of spirits and spirit hunters, but these are not mere superstitions. As more strangers show up on her doorstep, she quickly finds another reason to fear the forest.
Satu keluarga daif yang menetap di pinggir hutan didatangsi seorang budak perempuan yang memberi sebuah ramalan ngeri. Pelbagai peristiwa mistik berlaku selepas itu.
