Dilim 2014

Kylie Padilla plays Maritess, a nursing student who moves into a dorm and becomes haunted by inexplicable nightmares. On a trip to Quiapo, a seer tells her she is a conduit between the living and the dead, drawing spirits toward her because she can help them cross over to the other side. Back at the dorm, Ella Cruz as Mia, a fellow boarder, enters the story and the atmosphere grows increasingly uneasy. The nights grow darker, and Maritess confides in her newfound friend, Rayver Cruz as Emerson, as the strange occurrences threaten to overwhelm her. Through Mia’s whispered warnings and restless visions, Maritess learns that Mia is not just a roommate but a ghost—one of a nursing student who vanished about five years ago, along with her friend Aya Nathalie Hart — and the past begins to bleed into the present.

Aya’s carefree, flirtatious streak—a pattern of online blind dates that Mia often accompanies—unravels as the truth slowly surfaces. Aya, who suffers from epilepsy and relies on maintenance meds, crosses paths with Quinito Castañeda Rafael Rosell and his friend Danny Joross Gamboa when they take the two girls to a beach resort in Cavite. The night spirals from drinks to danger: Mia grows protective, Danny lures her outside, and Aya is left alone with Quinito. What begins with a tense attraction swiftly turns deadly as Quinito gives Aya a pill, triggering an epileptic crisis. In panic, Quinito uses a pillow to blunt the crisis and ends Aya’s life, while Mia enters in time to witness the horror, only to be killed by Danny. The bodies are placed in drums and dumped into the ocean, with one drum still containing a living victim who is finished off by Quinito. The police are alerted, but leads dry up and the investigation stalls.

Back in the dorm, Mia urges Maritess to seek justice and closure for the two victims. Determined, Maritess enlists Emerson’s help, and together with a few friends, they uncover a phone number Aya had written in her planner—belonging to Quinito. They report the number to the police, who remain skeptical and dismissive. Undeterred, an investigator who eventually starts to listen follows up and confronts Quinito, only to be manipulated into providing Quinito with Maritess’s information. Quinito then arranges for Danny to lure Maritess and Emerson to the beach house to “talk.” The trap is set; Quinito confronts them with a weapon, and a tense standoff ensues. Emerson is injured, and just as Quinito aims at Maritess, the ghosts of Mia and Aya rise from the shore, pulling Quinito and Danny into the dark sea below.
