Postmortem (2025)

[bunniefuu]

[ringing]

Hello, Irene...

Friend!

Jeez! Ive been calling you nonstop!

Are you okay?

Im fine...

How's Nikka?

Don't worry, I already

picked her up from school.

Were here at the apartment now.

Im really sorry, Trina...

You got stuck with Nikka again.

I just really had to work overtime...

Come on, its no big deal...

This kid feels like my own, anyway.

By the way...

I hope you didnt

forget to take your meds.

I already took them.

Thanks. I'm heading home now...

Okay, take care...

I'll wait for you.

[background chatter]

[clamoring]

Who could that be?

[clamoring]

[loud music playing,

people chattering]

Am I your girlfriend? Seriously?

Why dont you pay up first?

Ugh, come on...

Im not new here, you know.

[loud music playing,

people chattering]

What the hell?

Two thousand pesos? Seriously?

You're such a cheapskate.

Thats already a lot.

Dont want it?

Fine, give it back.

It's cool if you're not interested.

Whats your problem?

[loud music playing,

people chattering]

What do you want from me?

I know, not the best way to

invite someonesorry about that.

I know you wouldnt come

if I just asked nicely.

Youve totally gone off course.

Are you happy with

that kind of living?

What kind of nonsense is this?

I need your help.

No, wait...

They need your help.

Not interested.

Ten people.

Ten people have died...

in this city in just one week.

And more will die.

Unless we do something.

For reasons that cant be explained

These bodies are decaying fast.

It's as if they've

been burned by fire.

Sulfur

You're right.

A powerful curse is

spreading throughout this city.

You know it's dangerous, right?

Why do you still have to get

involved in other people's problems?

Because theres no one else.

No one else has the ability to do this.

If not us

Us?

You dont know what

you're talking about, Anton.

Dont waste your life here.

Are you still blaming yourself

for what happened to them?

Shut up.

Wake up, Rex!

Dont let my sister down.

Knock it off!

You didnt get this ability

for no reason.

How many more deaths will it take,

before you admit

you're part of the issue?

Stop it!

Whats up with your face now?

Are you thinking

about the future again?

Are you stressing about

whats coming up soon?

I'm scared.

What if what I have...

actually comes with a price?

Babe...

Whatever tomorrow

throws our way,

if it takes something back,

I'm sure...

it's for the best.

Just have faith, okay?

Ten million pesos.

What?

You're doing this for

the government, right?

That's just pocket change for them.

[scoffs]

Are you serious?

This could cost life.

What about you?

Can money really

replace your life?

Yeah.

A 28-year-old woman.

She hasnt been dead for that long.

The authorities haven't done

anything with the body yet.

And I think,

this is the most

effective subject.

If I dont make it after this...

Donate the cash to the orphanage.

You know what to do.

Rex...

You know your limits.

Dont make any contact,

or get involved inside.

We just need to know

where it came from,

and how to break the curse.

I know what I'm doing.

If anything goes wrong,

get out immediately.

Its not that simple.

- Rex...

- Shhh!

If you make it out of this,

where will you use the money?

On women.

Miss... Wait for me!

Miss... Whats your name, miss?

Wait, wait for me.

You're gorgeous.

Want to hang out later?

Forget them, miss.

Come with me.

She got hit!

The woman got hit!

That's so messed up.

You okay, miss?

Boss!

What can we do about this?

If you want to stay alive,

all we can do is wait.

Chief!

What happened here?

The jeep lost its brakes.

The drivers already in custody.

In custody?

Four people are hurt, ones dead.

What about that woman?

Shes one of the witnesses.

She had a panic attack

when she saw what happened.

Panic?

Shes got her own

version of the story.

What do you mean?

Before the accident happened...

she said she saw the

woman without a head.

Im wondering if I should

add that to the report.

What do you think, chief?

Its just superstition.

Its up to you.

If you think you are also

losing your mind, then include it.

I wont, chief.

- Whats going on?

- Chief!

Whats going on?

[clamoring]

Oh my god, thats creepy!

Look at that, its completely burned!

Yeah, its really sad, look at it.

Do you think it was cursed?

Lets move back a bit,

lets move back a bit.

Please, lets move back a bit.

Lets move back a bit,

lets move back a bit.

Whats going on now, friend?

Why do you look so out of it?

You good?

Sorry.

I didnt notice you right away.

Im fine.

There was just an

accident on the road earlier.

Oh, wow.

There you go again.

You shouldnt stress over

other peoples problems.

Youre just making me

worry about you more.

Irene...

Avoid things that arent good

for you, like the doctor said.

Right?

Thanks so much, really.

Oh, dont mention it. Come on.

Just, you know, focus on your kid...

And take care of yourself too.

Okay?

All right, I have to go.

Ill head out now, okay?

Take good care of my godchild.

Thanks, Trina.

Mommy?

Are you okay?

Im okay, baby.

Im probably just tired.

Look, mommy!

I got three stars

from Teacher Elsa!

She said I had the best drawing in class!

Wow! Thats amazing, baby!

What reward do you want?

Really, mommy?

I want a bicycle, mommy!

Because Edward and Sofias

mom bought them bicycles.

A bicycle?

Isnt that kind of dangerous, sweetie?

No, mommy!

Sofia can do it...

So I can do it too!

Im strong, mommy!

Mommy?

Are you leaving again?

Cant you just stay home, mommy?

Baby...

Mommy needs to go to work...

So we can pay the bills.

And...

So we can buy you

that bicycle you want.

Dont worry, okay?

Next month, I wont be

on the night shift anymore.

Okay?

Well get to sleep together again.

I wish we were rich

like Sofias family...

So we could always be together.

Aunt Trinas coming over...

In a few hours, okay?

Ugh, youre such a flirt.

Aw, come on...

I was just saying hi.

Anyway, heres the gossip!

Whats up?

Did you hear about the accident...

By the market in Arayat?

Oh my! Is that the one

with the video going around?

The woman who got

hit by the jeepney?

- Yikes!

- Exactly!

And heres the tea, okay?

They said before the

woman got hit, they saw her

Without a head.

Like, decapitated.

Its all there in the CCTV footage.

Wait, seriously?

How did that even happen?

Isnt there a superstition about that?

They say its a sign that

someones about to die.

Hey!

Cut it out, you guys.

You're giving me chills.

I saw something like

that on Facebook once.

Someone posted the same thing.

A doctor without a head in a photo.

I dont know if it was

real or just fake news.

Well, they say when

you see stuff like that

Youre supposed to slap the person.

Or warn them to stop the

bad omen from coming true.

You know, like those creepy premonitions.

But how are you supposed to slap them?

Theres no head!

You know what? Youre an idiot!

Youre messing with me.

Youre totally pranking me right now.

[chattering]

Oh my god, she got hit!

Oh my god!

You know what? I feel like its scripted.

Why would it be scripted?

Look, it seems so real.

See? Crazy, right?

You animals! No wonder

you never finish your work.

The sun's not even up yet...

And you're having gossip for breakfast!

Oh, Mr. Reyes!

Congrats!

Come on, everyone, lets

give it up for Mr. Miggy Reyes!

Congrats!

Thank you, sir.

But wait, sir

Whats the congratulations for?

Because it looks like you

finally finished your sales report!

Oh, that?

Its still in progress, sir.

Exactly!

Because you chose

gossip over work again.

Three weeks, and you're

still not done? Come on!

Should I just end

your life instead, huh?

Youre stressing me out!

Seriously, you're giving me a headache.

How many times

do I have to say it?

Hey there, miss.

Wanna grab a bite later?

Miggy, not today.

I have a ton of stuff to finish.

Why so cranky?

I rarely like someone,

but I like you.

Why you, of all people?

Youve already crushed

my dream of having kids.

If you werent this cute, I swear...

You think someone put a curse on him?

[chattering]

Miss Irene Advincula!

Oh, youre part of the gossip club now?

No wonder your performance tanked

this past week, huh?

You werent like this before.

Did those gossipmongers get to you?

Come on, get it together.

Goodbye, Irene.

Kriss...

Grace...

So, what are you trying to say?

Oh, so Im supposed

to be thankful instead?

It's not like that, sir.

That if I didnt do it, something

bad would happen to you.

Termination letter?

Sir!

Sir, please, dont do this.

Sir, I'm sorry!

Please, have mercy.

I'm the only one

supporting my mom, sir.

Im sorry. Sir, sorry.

Please.

Sorry, sir.

Sir?

Wait, what happened to him?

Call an ambulance!

Sir!

Sir, whats wrong?

Hes not breathing anymore, guys.

Theres no pulse anymore...

Answer me!

Hello?

Grace.

Grace, it's Sir Leo.

Sir LeoI saw him earlier...

Without a head.

Miggy, calm down.

I can't understand you.

He just suddenly collapsed, and then...

I think he had a heart

attack or something...

Miggy, breathe.

Take it easy.

Grace?

Grace?

Its your fault!

Sir, are you okay?

I'm good.

Just focus on driving.

Bro, whyd we take this route?

You're making such a long detour.

Sorry, sir.

I just want to make sure you get home safe.

Im kind of worried about you.

Why are you home so late, my son?

Have you eaten yet?

Alright, I'll whip up

some food for you, okay?

I already ate.

[Freeloader mom]

Hello, seorito!

I left some food for

you in the fridge, alright?

Just heat it up.

You might start nagging

me again if I don't.

Oh yeah, about the bills

Just send me the money

so I can pay them tomorrow.

I bet youll blame me again

If I dont get that paid.

I went out with my friends, by the way

Needed a break from your nagging.

Hey! Hey!

Are you even listening?

Hello?

You're so shameless!

Damn it!

Why are you home so late, my son?

Whos that, sweetheart?

Well, who else?

Well, my jerk of a kid.

Seriously? Its crazy late!

Come on, just pick it up!

If you dont pick up, they

might blow up your phone again!

Okay, okay.

Hello?

Whats your problem now?

Didnt I tell you I wasnt

coming home tonight?

Mom?

Mom?

Miggy?

Miggy, what happened?

Mom, I'm sorry.

Sorry for not being a good son to you.

If... If I'm always

being rude to you.

Mom, I'm sorry I cant give you grandkids.

Miggy, sweetheart.

- Are you okay?

- Yes...

We can talk about this, okay?

Mom, I'm scared.

Where are you, sweetheart?

- Mom, please forgive me.

- Stay there, okay?

Im coming home now.

Im coming home now, sweetheart.

Im coming home now.

Sweetheart, whats going on?

Antonio...

Antonio, I need to go home.

Come on, Antonio.

Please, Antonio.

Irene?

What happened to you?

Why are you home so early?

Is there an incident?

I dont know what is happening, Trina.

We were dismissed early because

something happened to Sir Leo.

Just calm down for a moment.

Why dont you just

quit your job instead?

So that you may

take a break for now?

If I could just do that freely,

but I can't give up.

Irene...

I told you before, just tell

me whatever you need...

I can lend you money,

that you and Nikka can use.

Tomorrow, quit your job already

And take care of

your daughter yourself.

Come on here...

Looks like there was a heated argument

between the mother and son, chief.

Spot anything off about this?

Seems like a suicide, chief.

Hey, whats that?

Whos that?

That's the victim's mother.

Shes refusing to go

to the hospital for now.

Lets give her some time to process.

Sir, theres something you need to see.

Over here.

Chief...

It's the same mark.

What does this mean?

Miggy, my child!

Miggy, my child!

Miggy, my child!

Oh god, Miggy!

Forgive mama, my child!

Mama loves you so

much, my dear child!

Mama loves you so much, sweetheart!

Rest now, Miggy.

My son!

Babe?

Babe, its Miggy!

Miggys gone, babe.

What?

What happened to Miggy?

Babe, please come home.

Please, I need you, babe.

Grace, whats going on?

I literally just got to the office, Grace.

Why are you asking me to go home?

Whats gotten into you?

Babe, please come home.

Stop being so dramatic.

Lets talk later, my

meetings about to start.

Ill call you back.

Joey!

Joey!

Joey!

Joey!

Grace?

Hello?

Grace? Grace?

Hello?

Grace?

Hello? Grace?

There she is, by the window!

Grace?

Grace?

Grace? Come here for a second...

Grace, are you okay?

Whats wrong, Ma'am Elya?

We just wanted to check if

everythings okay with you.

Did anything bad happen to you?

What do you mean?

You know Dianne, Gina's kid?

While you were

heading home from work...

The other night...

Uhm...

She said she saw you...

Without a head.

- What?

- Yeah, Grace

We all agreed...

It was best to warn you.

You never know...

Shameless gossips,

that's what you are!

How about you focus on your

husbands' junk and stay out of mine?

Get out of here, now!

Why dont you just drop dead?

Go to hell!

Go to hell!

Go to hell!

Go to hell!

Die!

Die!

Die!

Get out!

Go to hell! Die!

Step out, you coward!

Hey, b*tch!

Get out here, now!

Come out here!

Joey! Joey!

Joey! Joey!

Jo...

Krissy, what's going on?

Check your emails!

Upper management

approved work-from-home.

Because of all the weird

stuff happening here.

Weird stuff?

What do you mean?

Irene, I dont want to

stay here any longer.

If I were you, Id start packing.

Im out of here.

Irene, I'm scared.

Sir Leo

Miggy

Miggy?

What happened to Miggy?

What if I'm next?

Grace, dont stress about it right now.

What matters now is

that we get out of here.

Miss Irene!

This afternoon

They found Maam Grace

dead in her house.

Chief

What do we do with

the victims' bodies?

The families are getting impatient.

They are already asking if

they can proceed with the burials.

Until were absolutely sure

what caused their deaths...

No one should touch the bodies.

Morado.

Any updates from forensics?

Sir, they didnt find any

bacteria or viral infection.

Its still a total mystery

how the bodies are

decomposing so quickly.

Plus, the victims all died

from different causes.

Chief, take a look at this.

What is this?

Three of the victims...

are employees of this company.

Look who I found.

Irene Advincula.

She's still one of the

active employees there.

And she was also

one of our witnesses

from that market accident, sir.

What do you think?

Could she be related with

what's been happening?

Mommy, whats going on?

Mommy, are you okay?

Sweetie, where did you get this?

They're my friends

from my dream, mommy.

They're really nice.

They told me they

live at the church.

Do you know...

have any idea about the strange

things going on these past few days?

Thats three deaths

at your office now.

Rumors say they were

seen headless before...

before they died.

Just like that woman...

Who died in the marketplace.

I cant think of anyone else

connected to these events.

Got any idea whats going on?

I swear, sir, I dont know

whats happening anymore.

Miggy and the others...

I dont know how

all of this happened.

Did you make this drawing?

Thats the Policarpios' church, right?

What makes you so sure?

Out of all the

churches around here...

Thats the only one

with that design, chief.

Alright, thanks.

Chief, I got the address of

the person you were looking for.

Miss Irene, well get going now.

Thanks for working with us on this.

You know where to

reach me if you need help.

Sir...

Sir, I'm really worried

about my kids safety.

Im begging youhelp us.

Dont worry.

A paranormal expert?

I thought you didnt

believe in that stuff?

Arent you freaked out

by whats going on?

It wouldnt hurt to give it a shot.

Hello? Anyone there?

Excuse me? Anybody home?

Yes?

This is Officer Clint

and Inspector Danny

from the local department unit.

Could we have a word

with Bonifacio Gomez?

Whats this about?

We were told you're familiar

with paranormal occurrences.

- Could we maybe...

- Were not accepting visitors right now.

We dont want to get

involved in your mess.

Come on, sir, were just

trying to be reasonable.

Its none of your business

if were being dramatic.

And youve got no rightyoure

just here knocking like some rando.

Thats right! You

cant tell us what to do!

Stay in your lane!

I dont care who you are...

You cant stop us!

You cant force us!

I dont have time

to argue with you.

Please. If you know

something, speak up.

Alright, sure.

Go ahead, make yourself at home.

Do you want any snacks?

Once word got around to me...

Thats when I realized.

That it was a terrifying curse.

As the legends go...

They say it all began

way back World w*r 2.

In a remote place

somewhere in Zambales.

Where Filipino prisoners were

beheaded by the Japanese.

A lot of those poor souls...

Are those children that

didnt even stand a chance.

One of the casualties was a local priest.

But before he died...

He sacrificed his very soul...

and made a deal with the devil.

He made a deadly pacthis

soul in exchange for a curse.

To get justice for the

children who were m*rder*d.

The curse lived on.

Until death claimed

everyone in that camp.

Not a single Japanese soldier survived.

Nobody knows

exactly how, or why...

the curse refuses to die.

even to this day.

I wish I could help you...

but this is way beyond me.

Check this out.

The last time this

happened was in 1968.

A family from Tambobong...

was nearly wiped out

by the exact same curse.

That before they died....

They showed signs...

of their impending death.

Waitnearly?

Did someone make it out?

Yeah.

Francis Martinez.

Thats him in the photo.

Not sure how the

kid survived, though.

Francis Martinez?

Yeah, why?

Any idea where he might be?

Chief...

Father Francis Martinez.

He's the chief priest in Policarpio.

He was locked up for ten years.

But they let him go after...

the m*rder charges were dropped.

He k*lled his own sister, Louisa Martinez.

She was reported to have

been abused by their father.

Sweetie, is this the church

you saw in your dream?

Yes, mommy.

Mommy, are we going

to see my friends?

Later, sweetheart.

Mommy just needs

to pray first, okay?

Um... Father...

Father, just letting you know...

I might be out til morning.

My moms in the hospital right now.

Its all good, kiddo.

Here, kid. Take this.

That should help a bit

with the hospital expenses.

Dont worry about me,

I can handle myself.

Thanks a lot, Father.

Oh, by the way, father.

Theres this lady whos

been waiting inside the church.

Theyve been there

for quite some time now.

She says she really

needs to confess.

Its already late, kid.

My apologies, Father.

Shes been pleading nonstop.

They traveled from way out, Father.

In the name of the Father, the

Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

You may speak now, dear.

Good evening, Father.

The truth is...

I came here because I have

no idea what to do anymore.

Whats troubling you?

There was a woman at the market.

I saw her without a head.

And at that moment,

she died in an accident.

Days passed...

More people started dying...

Because of something

we cant explain.

Some of those who died

were people I cared about.

I really dont know what

to do anymore, Father.

Im sorry, dear.

I cant help you with that.

Father!

Father, please...

Help me and my daughter.

I still want her to live.

The curse is extremely dangerous, Irene.

It spreads like wildfire...

To anyone who carries

hatred and sorrow in their heart.

And in the persons own fear...

Follows death.

What should we

do to stop the curse?

The death of one...

Is better...

Than the death of many.

What are you trying to say, Father?

The curse, Irene, cannot live

Without the one who carries it.

A soul weighed down by sorrow and pain.

In that tormented soul...

the curse resides.

And that person... must die.

Havent you noticed, Irene?

Its like

youre the only one

death wont touch.

Theres no other way to

protect the people you love.

- Father...

- Forgive me, O Lord.

Irene!

Irene!

Irene!

Dont run from whats

meant to happen!

Give up now!

Irene!

Innocent people will die

if you keep running, Irene.

If you want your kid to live...

get her out of here

while you still can!

Do this for the greater good.

Irene!

May divine peace...

embrace your soul.

Sister?

Sir Danny!

Mommy, I'm scared.

My dear, you are strong, arent you?

Didnt you say you got this?

You can take care of yourself, right?

Yes, mommy.

Promise me, sweetheart.

Promise me youll grow up to

be strong and good like mommy.

Okay?

Yes, mommy.

Promise me that you'll live a

good life when you grow up.

Yes, mommy.

Do you trust me, sweetheart?

Go to sleep.

Go to sleep.

Go to sleep, my child.

Go to sleep.

Go to sleep.

Don't cry anymore.

Go to sleep.

Go to sleep.

Go to sleep, my child.

Boss!

Hey boss, it's Rex!

Rex!

Rex, get out of there!

Rex!

Rex!

What did you find?

The curse is still alive!

It saw me.

Rex!

- Rex!

- What?

What's going on, sir?

Am I going to die, sir?

Sir, please help me!

Don't give in to fear!

Quick, cover his eyes!

Cover his eyes!

What's going on?

Rex, what the hell is going on?

Why the hell is this happening?

- I dont know!

- Try to remember!

- I don't know!

- What's happening?

If Irene isnt the one

carrying the curse...

then who?

The kid...

What the hell happened to the kid?

What kid?

Please, leave us alone!

Let go of my child, please!

Mommy! There's a bike!

Mommy...

This place gives me the creeps.

Sir Danny, come on, where are you?

Why arent you picking up?

Miss Irene?

Huh?

Irene's single.

She has no husband and child.

What?

Are you really sure

about your visions, Rex?

Are you out of your mind?

What would I get out of this?

- Rex!

- Why would I even lie, huh?

Get a grip!

Sir, Nicks in trouble!

Nick!

The curse cannot live

Without the host who carries it.

Havent you noticed, Irene?

youre the only one death wont touch.

Where are you?

Paper! Get me some paper!

Hand me papernow!

Now! Quick!

Thats the one!

Look into that person.

Rex!

Rex!

Rex!

Stay calm.

Don't be afraid.

Run!

Boss, we still want to live.

Were done. Were staying out of this.

Fine.

Any details we dig

up about this person...

well pass it to you immediately.

Go home. Be with your loved ones.

What are you going to do with that?

No time for questions now.

Were running out of time.

Lets go.

Confirmed.

Its been two years already.

Her husband left her and

left with someone else.

Two months later...

Her daughter was

run over by a truck

while riding her bicycle.

How did she messed up your vision?

My vision is not the problem...

She distracted Irenes sanity.

Hold on...

Is she trying to pass

the curse to Irene?

Trina?

Can we talk?

We know youve been through a lot.

Who are you?

You dont get it!

You dont understand.

[chanting]

Trina, snap out of it.

Dont let the curse consume you.

I feel so bad for myself...

Yes!

Youre just wasting your breath.

Rex! Rex, stop!

- Let go of me!

- Calm down!

Trina...

Rex.

Rex!

Rex, whats going on with you?

Rex!

Rex!

Stop!

Stop it!

Wake up!

Wake up now! Wake up now!

Wake up!

Wake up!

Daddy!

What did you do to mommy?

Wake up! Get up now!

Daddy, what did you do to mommy?

- Daddy!

- Rex!

Rex!

Rex!

Rex!

Rex!

Enough, Rex!

Why did you do this to mommy?

Daddy!

Daddy!

Daddy...

Lets go join mommy...

Isnt this what you wanted?

k*ll me now, daddy!

Rex!

Youre all going to die!

[sobbing]

Sit here next to me...

Come on, sit here with me...

Sit here beside me...

Just k*ll me already...

Rex?

Rex!

Rex!

Ali, look at this old dude.

He looks like a panda.

Hes all beaten up.

His face is all busted.

Geez, what happened to his face?

Hes probably a troublemaker.

That's why you kids should

never get into a fight, alright?

Yes, Sister.

Are you Sister Joanna Dizon?

Yes, thats me.

Someone has a gift for you.

Its for the children.

Ten million?

Whos it from?

He dont want to be named.

I hope you use it wisely.

Thank you so much.

Sisters!

Children!

Come here! Sisters! Oh my god!

Gods Grace is with us!

Thank you, Lord...

It's a blessing!

Thank you, Lord...

Thank you, Lord, for everything.

Thank you.

Ive done what you asked for.

You can now be at peace.

Theyre happy.

This is for you.

A little tip from the boss.

For your women.

Well k*ll them all!
