Haunted Forest revolves around policeman Aris (Raymart Santiago) and his estranged daughter Nica (Jane Oineza), who relocate to his father’s hometown so that he can investigate a murder case eerily similar to the death of his childhood friend.
While her father is away, Nica, her cousin and her local friends wander at night, and she encounters a creature of local folklore—the sitsit. The creature becomes very fond of her and soon, tries to take a hold of her.
The film premiered in cinemas last Christmas as one of the eight entries in the 2017 Metro Manila Film Festival. It also stars Joey Marquez, Dido de la Paz, Myrtle Sarrosa, Jameson Blake, Jon Lucas, and Maris Racal.
