Liew weds elements from Filipino folklore with a take on the immigrant experience that could be ripped from current headlines and with the film about to compete at the Tokyo International Film Festival the first trailer has freshly arrived via Variety and we're very happy to follow that with a look at the official poster.

But as JC and the guests soon discover, Motel Acacia is home to a dark and ancient spirit, which devours men and impregnates women. With food running out and a violent blizzard preventing the guests to leave, a desperate fight for survival begins. In an attempt rid himself from his father’s shadow, JC risks losing his own humanity.
