  • Complete Monster: Dadong Carandang is an abusive monster who holds a tight grip on his wife and daughter through intimidation and threats of violence. Dadong has reduced his wife, Dely, to an emotionally broken and submissive servant, and has an unhealthy obsession with his daughter Mila. When Mila reveals herself to be engaged to a man named Noel, Dadong forces them both to live in the household under his control. After Noel stays out after the expected curfew, Dadong locks him out of the house for the night, causing Noel to have a complete mental breakdown. When Noel tries to leave the house with his wife, Mila reveals that Dadong raped her and is the reason she is pregnant in the first place. After Dadong rapes her again, Mila pretends to be sick to go to the hospital and escape with Noel. Enraged, Dadong forces his wife at gunpoint to negotiate with Noel's dad and bring the couple back to his house. When Dadong ultimately tries to shoot the couple, Dely rushes over to protect them but gets shot to death by Dadong, who then proceeds to murder Noel, Mila, and himself.
  • It Was His Sled: Due to bring based on a real life tragedy and the movie itself even using the actual newspaper of the event in one of its posters, most people know Dadong kills his family and commits suicide.
  • Paranoia Fuel: The house's design and De Leon's blocking make for a truly claustrophobic experience. With a terrifying dread that Dadong may be watching from every corner.
  • Signature Scene: The film’s violent and brutal ending is definitely its most famous scene.
