Untold (2025)

Vivian Vera (Jodi Sta. Maria) is a celebrated journalist and the face of the tabloid-style investigative series Untold on Mon News Network. Her career is marked by sensational exposés that have propelled her to fame, but beneath her polished exterior lies a history of ethical compromises and fabricated stories.

One of her most notorious reports involved the "Cement Massacre," where a group of informal settlers protesting against a development project by Cateland Development were brutally killed. Vivian's coverage of the incident, captured with the help of her cameraman Benjie (Joem Bascon), catapulted her to stardom. However, the veracity of her reporting is questionable, as it becomes evident that she manipulated facts to serve her ambition.

Years later, Vivian is assigned to interview Ernesto Malugay (Francis Mata), the security chief implicated in the massacre, who has been released from prison due to lack of evidence. As she delves into this assignment, Vivian begins experiencing disturbing hallucinations and encounters with apparitions of the massacre victims, appearing disfigured and half-buried in concrete.

The supernatural occurrences intensify when a mysterious woman named Diana (Angel Raymundo) confronts Vivian, accusing her of burying the truth and presenting her with a cursed bracelet. This encounter triggers a series of events where individuals connected to Vivian's past, including Benjie and Ernesto, meet gruesome deaths, seemingly at the hands of vengeful spirits.

Vivian's grip on reality begins to falter as she experiences time lapses, memory gaps, and increasingly violent visions. Her interactions with colleagues, such as the ambitious junior reporter Louise Amador (Kaori Oinuma), become strained as Louise investigates the inconsistencies in Vivian's past reports. Vivian's mother, Monica Vera (Gloria Diaz), observes her daughter's deteriorating mental state with growing concern.

In a series of flashbacks, it's revealed that Vivian's unethical practices extend beyond the Cement Massacre. In a bid to outshine her rival Elaine Arnaiz (Sarah Edwards), Vivian fabricated a story about a restaurant serving cat meat, going so far as to kill her own pet cat, Kitty Marie, to produce convincing footage.

As the haunting intensifies, Vivian becomes convinced that she is cursed by the victims' families and that her only escape is to confess her "untold" crimes. The film culminates in a harrowing confrontation where Vivian must choose between revealing the truth, thereby destroying her career, or succumbing to the wrath of the vengeful spirits.
