On the other hand, the last owner who possessed the bagwa was unfortunate when the whole family died because of the Lotus Feet’s curse.

The bagwa was taken by Mr. Liao (Joonee Gamboa) to the temple to keep it hidden from other possible owners and to keep anyone from danger. However, Lester - a hired thief stole the bagwa from the temple for money to support his mother which is an alcoholic. He turned over immediately the bagwa to the Chinese fellow who hired him. Unfortunately, he later found out that the bagwa already followed him home and now above their doorstep.

Lester started to get luck from it when he found a wallet with ATM card full of money but bad luck also happened to him in parallel when the gang in their place almost took his motorcycle triggering a fight which he survived temporarily. Another good luck came when his father visited them and took him and his mother to a new home. His father was new promoted in his job.

But later after his mother and father make out in bed, his mother took some of the wine secretly, but due to the curse, his mother can’t stop drinking that caused the commotion inside the house. As a result, her mother died after falling in the backyard. Their lives have been cursed and will take them all once not stopped.

After the death of his mother, they again received luck when something is delivered to their house. Lester tried to destroy the bagwa by pounding a hammer on the floor but Joy came as a company representative and was shocked by what she saw. The bagwa has also been restored immediately and is again appeared above the door. She warned Lester to refuse the graces that they received while there is still time. Joy also sensed some strange things around her and Mr. Liao told her that bagwa again found her.

Together they teamed up with Lily (Cherry Pie Picache), a previous owner to look for the bagwa and destroy it but they were only tricked by her when she intentionally lied that the bagwa did not come back to her house. Later, Lily also died after the Lotus Feet appeared. Lester was also shot by Joy’s fiancĂ© after getting the bagwa from Joy’s door. Lester, Joy and Mr. Liao tried hard to get back the bagwa to the temple to destroy it but they encountered trouble in the street causing Mr. Liao to be stabbed to death.

At last, Joy and Lester made it to the temple and destroyed the bagwa together but Joy later discovered that it was indeed only Lester’s spirit who helped her. She found Lester’s body on the doorstep of the temple that means he actually didn’t make it physically. The bagwa’s cursed was successfully stopped but she suspected that her fiancĂ© also died in the street that they left to reach the temple.

Tumbok (2011)

tumbok horror movie, tumbo beliefs, tumbok house

Tumbok is a 2011 pinoy horror movie about hauntings in a condominium unit starring Cristine Reyes (Grace) and Carlo Aquino (Ronnie). Tumbok is believed to be a bad Feng Shui. This location is in T-junction wherein you door is facing the road that is pointing to your direction. Properties built in this location (tumbok houses) will experience lots of bad lucks.

When Ronnie’s father died, a lawyer handed him a document claiming some property in Manila. It is a condominium where they used to live before when he’s still a kid. With this, the couple decided to move there to build a family of their own and also to take advantage of the place.

Upon transferring, Mark (Ryan Eigenmann) introduced the place in which Ronnie could not remember anymore what had happened before in that place. Mark also claimed that his family and Ronnie’s were business partners and he was tasked to save the place for Ronnie.

In the first day of their stay, Grace already saw and sensed many strange things in the building such crying baby, child entering in their unit and so with weird neighbors. She told Ronnie about those things but he didn’t believe her. After few days some bad things happened when their student neighbors died due to explosion caused by leaking tank gas. Also, Grace also dreamed about Mark forcing her in bed.

Ronnie’s cousin Lumen (LJ Moreno) came to their place and told Grace that there are many misfortunes to be experienced in that building since the location of the place is right at the center surrounded by other buildings. This tumbok beliefs lead them to perform a candle session with the unit as part of tumbok tips learned by Lumen. Lumen was also warned by their kid neighbor to take care but she didn’t take it seriously on her way out of the building. Later, Lumen was killed by a mad man outside cutting her head off with a bolo.

Grace also learned from her neighbor that Ronnie’s mother is still alive and currently in a mental ward. The story was - Ronnie’s mother killed his sister when he was a kid claiming that they are not her kids but instead from the devil. This is the reason why Ronnie and his father migrated to the province to live peacefully away from his ruthless mother.

Bad things happened in the next few days where Ronnie and his drunkard neighbor had a fight. Mark also appeared and claimed that he is Ronnie’s father and he was the devil as mentioned by his mother. Mark said that things will happen over and over again in that building since he is Ronnie’s father and connected with the devil. He also claimed that the child in Grace’s womb is Ronnie’s brother and not his son. The story revealed that what happened with Ronnie’s mother will also happen to Grace.

To end this, Ronnie committed suicide but the things that Mark had mentioned indeed happened to Grace and she turned out to be insane claiming that it’s the devil’s child which needs to be killed. The horror in that building remained unstoppable as the new tenants came to live there.
