DIANE, a teacher, is hired to tutor two children who live in a funeral parlor. Upon discovering the terrifying secret of the business owners, Diane is trapped in the complex and must use her wits to find her way out.
"It is Tarog’s Punerarya that really held me spellbound, and admiring how he adapted his proven indie film storytelling prowess to the horror genre."
- PHILLIP CU-UNJIENG (PHILIPPINE STAR)
"...eschews the built-in thrills of his already strange subject matter, a family of aswangs who hide behind their business for survival, to create something more intelligent, something more horrifying." - OGGS CRUZ (TWITCH)
"Tarog elevates a routine narrative with really strong direction. The swooping camera movements and moody visuals provide plenty of suspense…"
- PHILBERT DY (CLICKTHECITY)
