Plot

The film is divided into five parts entitled "Braso" (lit. 'Arm'), "Paa" (lit. 'Feet'), "Mata" (lit. 'Eyes'), "Mukha" (lit. 'Face') and "Puso" (lit. 'Heart').

Synopsis

The movie includes 5 stories which all revolves on a hand with an "R.I.P" tattoo.

One: Braso (Arm)

Three neophytes (Sam Concepcion, AJ Perez & Robi Domingo) are brought to a morgue while dressed in lingeries for the final part of their initiation to join a fraternity. After snooping around the place, the boys find a detached arm with an "R.I.P" tattoo of a corpse comes to life, much of their terror. The animated hand causes trouble to group before they escape.

Two: Paa (Feet)

A young mother (Jodi Sta. Maria) visits the wake of her daughter's classmate. As she went to a wake, a rabid dog bit her. Soon after, she finds the ghost of the dead child on her tail, seeking revenge after she stole the shoes of her daughter's classmate (which caused the kid's amputated feet and death). She suffers hallucinations of the ghost kid. The mother then burns the shoes, ending the ghost's haunting. A year later, the mother is seen in crutches, her leg amputated.

Three: Mata (Eyes)

"Eyes" is all about Rose (Maja Salvador) who after witnessing a crime when her boyfriend (Rayver Cruz) kills a man during road rage, experiences multiple déjà vu of the same incident. To avoid her boyfriend killing the man, she finally shoots him instead, hitting his eye causing his death. Back in her home, she receives a call from her dead boyfriend who appears in front of her, seemingly killing her. The R.I.P. tattoo on the hand was shown lighting a man's cigarette in one of the scenes.

Four: Mukha (Face)

Rizza (Mariel Rodriguez) is an editor with a cold and heartless attitude. After she fires Mang Bong (Nanding Josef), the janitor, she is then haunted by ghastly figures. It is then revealed to be a prank by the late night shift employee Eric(Ketchup Eusebio). After Rizza finds out about this, she becames infuriated. Eric then receives a call, telling him that Mang Bong died from suicide. Meanwhile, Rizza enters the elevator and angrily shouts "You're fired!" unaware that the real ghost is behind her inside the elevator. The episode ends with Eric finding her inside the elevator, traumatized by the ghost. She then suddenly becomes crazy. During Mang Bong's suicide, an employee that was waiting outside bought a balut which was handed to him by a man whose hand bears the R.I.P tattoo.

Five: Puso (Heart)

Emily, a circus woman (Pokwang) with an unflattering appearance uses a love potion on her love interest, Elvis (Zanjoe Marudo), who works in the carnival's horror house. When the potion worked, unfortunately, Elvis was brutally stabbed to death by a crazed member of the audience. Hell ensues at the carnival as Elvis returns undead and chases the circus Emily, killing all who tries to obstruct him, even his own girlfriend. After cutting off Elvis' arm, it comes back to life, causing Emily having a heart attack and her death. It is revealed that the arm is the same arm in the first part of the movie "BRASO". It is also revealed that Elvis is the one with the R.I.P. tattoo in the arm.
