Plot
Picking up directly where the first film in 2004 ended. This film is set ten years after Feng Shui, the 'cursed bagua' went into possession of Lester (Martin), a jack-of-all-trades. He is willing to do every single job offered to him, even dirty and illegal works. But after the arrival of the 'cursed bagua' in his life, everything is about to change. But soon, he realizes that all the luck he is getting has deadly consequences. On the other hand, the previous owners of the 'bagua' are being drawn together by the curse. It's as if their luck has back fired against them. Can Joy (Aquino) save them from the deadly curse of 'Lotus Feet' , even if the curse has spawned another force – Lotus Feet's niece – who is also set to take more souls and start a whole new cycle of terror?

Production
The idea of a sequel was created after Coco Martin approached Director Chito Rono and Kris Aquino about the first film. Being a fan himself of the original movie in 2004, Coco Martin asked Aquino and Rono if they would be interested on a sequel, and that he would be glad to join them. Rono and Aquino decided that after ten years, it was the right time for the sequel.
The shooting of the film was set to commence by late August of this year. With the first cut of the film, Joy's character (Kris Aquino) was not present for most of the time in the story. Because of this, the producers asked them to do re-shoots to give her additional screen time. The first official trailer of the film was attached to the Star Cinema romantic comedy film Past Tense, which was released on November 22.[3]
Reception
The film was met with high expectations by fans since the first movie was a cult classic, considered as the 'scariest Filipino horror film ever'. The film received mixed to positive response from critics, citing the outstanding performances of Coco Martin and Cherry Pie Picache but lacking the originality of the first movie. They also applauded Kris Aquino's performances, saying it was a great improvement from her past horror films. Audiences received the film more positively, citing it as a worthy sequel to the original hit.
