Abel is about to marry Wisnu. A couple days before the wedding, she is visited by a strange pregnant woman who claims the baby she's carrying belongs to fiancé Wisnu. Of course, Abel is shocked by this confrontation and attempts to kill herself. A friend named Charlie reacts quickly and takes her to the hospital. She awakes from a coma and vows to never see Wisnu again. Now, troubled and depressed, Abel grows closer to Charlie who escorts her to a large getaway mansion outside the town to help her get some necessary rest and relaxation. However, strange events immediately begin to happen upon their arrival as the house is haunted by ghosts from the afterlife who are determined to make Abel pay for her attempted suicide.

We've been singing the praises for Rizal Mantovani for quite a while now. He is THE director to watch. Someday he will find International success. His movies are too damn good for that not to happen. It's impossible not to be thunderstruck by the extraordinary design of his craft. Rizal came to motion pictures through music videos, helming more than 400 between 1992-1998. He knows how to get the most from a camera. Quite simply he is one of the very best horror directors working in motion pictures today. If you aren't familiar with his work as yet, take a look at WATERFALL OF PENGANTIN and the WATERFALL sequel, his CHANTING trilogy or VIRGIN BEACH CREATURE.
