Haunted Mansion (2015)
Directed by Jun Lana
Summary[]
The film centers on a girl who can see dead people and her classmates who are to head off to a retreat in an old mansion. Things turn terrifying when the students cross paths with the mansion’s dark history.
Ella (Janella Salvador) is a student from a prestigious Catholic school. She has a third eye, an ability she acquired when she was still a little girl, which eventually caused the death of her father after a failed seance. That incident evoked her fear of opening it again, though she can't avoid seeing visions of ghosts around her. She, her bestfriends Faye (Sharlene San Pedro), Adrian (Marlo Mortel) and suitor Jacob (Jerome Ponce) and the rest of her class are taken to a big mansion in the province for a retreat activity. During their stay, Ella is plagued by visions of the mansion's past. After numerous problems with her bully Megan (Ingrid dela Paz), Ms. Gonzales (Janice de Belen) reprimands the group to stay one more day in the mansion. The group's last day turns into a nightmare when the province is affected by a storm, causing a wide flood outside the house which begins to enter the mansion, including a power outage that lasted the whole night. Meanwhile, Megan and her group decided to leave a phone inside the chapel booth to capture the black lady Veronica's voice, just for fun. After one of Megan's members hear the recorded note, he gets killed by the mansion's deceased owner Amara (Iza Calzado). The incident turn into a chain of events to which Steve's death is followed by Faye and Ms. Gonzales, all three who get killed and their tongues taken off from their mouths by Amara. Ella and the rest decide to listen to the voice note, where Veronica reveals the mansion's past, involving Amara and her wicked secrets. They realize that whoever hears the voice note will die minutes after seeing Jaime's spirit, as he appears to warn everyone who heard the note that Amara is coming to kill them. Amara then takes down each of them one by one until Ella, Adrian and Jacob were the only ones left alive. Ella uses her third eye, where she sees Veronica and Jaime's human forms in the afterlife. Seeking help from the two, Ella and her friends go in the back area of the mansion where they attempt to destroy Amara's corpse in order to defeat her completely.
