The Curse of Barbara

In the maps of the Philippines, there is an isolated town.

Miguel Montero, a lead researcher, arrives in Santa Barbara with one goal to find the best friend who vanished there a year ago. Along with his cousin Deither and the clumsy Warren, they expect to find a town rich in forgotten culture. But as the sun sets, the "rich traditions" turn into a living nightmare. The doors are locked, the villagers are terrified, and the forest is alive with the shrieks of the devout.

Jane, a local with a sharp gaze and a heavy secret, gives them one warning, "Huwag kayong magdarasal sa kanya. She isn't listening to save you."

In a town where every prayer is answered at a deadly price, Miguel must uncover the truth about a "Saint" who was never a saint at all before the ritual claims them next.

In Santa Barbara, faith isn't a choice. It's a cage.
