Aval

The film unfolds across two time periods: a tragic 1934 incident that sets the house's dark history in motion, and the present-day 2016 storyline centered on a successful neurosurgeon and his wife. The house in Rosina Valley carries long-buried secrets that resurface when Jenny and the family settle in. The two eras form a cycle of possession, vengeance, and the possibility of redemption.

Rosina Valley serves as the quiet, mountainous backdrop where the D'Costa family moves in next to Krish and Lakshmi. The D'Costa House, with its long-buried secrets, becomes the epicenter of the haunting, while the well and nearby cliff frame the historical tragedy of 80 years ago. The setting blends serene domestic life with eerie, supernatural disturbances that escalate through the story.

👻 Haunting

A haunted house and its surrounding locations are inhabited by three ancient Chinese spirits. The haunting manifests through Jenny’s behavior, the exorcism, and the violent disturbances that threaten the living. The spirits’ interruptions force the characters to confront a hidden past that refuses to stay buried. The supernatural presence ultimately drives the plot toward a climactic confrontation.

🕵️ Secrets

The village history and the house hold long-buried truths about Lu Wei and a failed sacrificial ritual. Investigations by Dr. Prasad and the old woman uncover the truth behind the bones, the well, and the eclipse that marked the tragedy. The revelation reframes the present danger as a consequence of past choices. These secrets bind the present to a violent, fated history.

🔮 Possession

Possession threads through Jenny, Krish, and ultimately Krish’s own peril as Lu Wei’s spirit inhabits him. The danger is not only external but internal as the line between healer and vessel blurs. The climax centers on a battle to free the living from the dead’s control when the solar eclipse ends. The possibility that a child could be born under such dark influence hints at genes and fate interwoven with supernatural forces.
