Untold (2025) – Full Plot Summary & Ending Explained

Read the complete plot breakdown of Untold (2025), including all key story events, major twists, and the ending explained in detail. Discover what really happened—and what it all means.

Vivian Vera is a celebrated journalist and the face of the tabloid-style investigative series Untold on Mon News Network. Her career has climbed on sensational exposés, but beneath her polished exterior lies a history of ethical compromises and fabricated stories.

One of her most notorious reports documented the “Cement Massacre,” where informal settlers protesting a development project by Cateland Development were killed. The footage that propelled her to stardom was captured with the help of her cameraman, Benjie, and the line between truth and manipulation begins to blur as the film invites questions about what really happened.

Years later, Vivian is assigned to interview Ernesto Malugay, the security chief implicated in the massacre, who has been released from prison due to lack of evidence. As she digs into the case, she starts experiencing disturbing hallucinations and encounters with apparitions of the massacre’s victims, appearing disfigured and half-buried in concrete.

The supernatural occurrences intensify when a mysterious woman named Diana confronts Vivian, accusing her of burying the truth and presenting her with a cursed bracelet. This confrontation sets off a chain of events in which people connected to Vivian’s past, including former colleagues and others linked to the tragedy, meet gruesome deaths, seemingly at the hands of vengeful spirits.

Vivian’s grip on reality frays as time lapses and memory gaps deepen, and her interactions with colleagues grow tense. Among them is ambitious junior reporter Louise Amador, who begins to dig into the inconsistencies in Vivian’s past reports. Vivian’s mother, Monica Vera, played by Monica Vera, watches the downward spiral with growing concern.

In flashbacks, it becomes clear that Vivian’s unethical practices extend beyond the Cement Massacre. To outshine her rival Elaine Arnaiz, she fabricates a story about a restaurant serving cat meat, going as far as killing her own pet cat, Kitty Marie, to produce convincing footage. The revelation casts a harsher light on Vivian’s legacy and the true cost of sensational journalism.

As the haunting intensifies, Vivian grows convinced that she is cursed by the families of the victims and that the only escape is to confess her “untold” crimes. The film builds to a harrowing confrontation where she must choose between revealing the truth—thereby destroying her career—or succumbing to the wrath of the vengeful spirits.

Ending Explained – What Happens at the End of Untold?

Still wondering what the ending of Untold (2025) really means? Here’s a spoiler-heavy breakdown of the final scene, major twists, and the deeper themes that shape the film’s conclusion.

Vivian Vera’s downfall is the direct result of the countless sins she committed to climb the newsroom ladder. After the Cement Massacre exposé, a mysterious woman gives her a bracelet that awakens the spirits of the victims—ghosts covered in cement and mud that begin to haunt her every waking moment. The black cat she repeatedly sees, “Kitty Marie,” is the very animal she brutally killed and filmed to fabricate a sensational scoop that earns her a permanent job, a loan for her mother’s operation, and the admiration of her boss Sylvia.

The curse deepens when Vivian’s colleague Elaine discovers the fake video, confronts her, and is pushed into traffic, dying under a bus. Benjie, Vivian’s former best friend, witnesses the murder and knows she also slaughtered the cat; his guilt drives him to suicide, leaving his eye‑ball splattered on the floor. Later, a young archivist, Louise, uncovers the truth and publicly exposes Vivian, prompting Sylvia to suspend her and promote Louise.

When Ernesto Malugay, a perpetrator of the Cement Massacre, is released, Vivian is forced to interview him. Amanda, a grieving mother of one of the victims, insists he confess, but he refuses. During the interview Amanda shoots Ernesto and is herself arrested, revealing she had been the covert broker of the massacre and that the victims’ spiritual curse—initiated by her mother Teresa—targets anyone complicit in the tragedy, including Vivian and Benjie.

In the film’s climax, Vivian’s mother Monica appears at the construction site, but it is actually Teresa’s vengeful spirit manipulating Vivian’s mind. Terrified, Vivian falls from a high building while a colleague, Jasper, tries in vain to catch her. The fall does not kill her; instead she awakens as a hollow, emotion‑less “living ghost,” forever trapped between the world of the living and the realm of the cursed souls she helped silence. She watches, detached, as Louise takes over her segment, while Monica, oblivious to the supernatural torment, continues to praise her daughter as a future star.

The final scene shows the cursed bracelet lying on a table in Vivian’s family eatery, hinting that the spirits have not finished their retribution. Vivian’s fate is left as a lingering dread—she survives physically, but is condemned to a lifeless existence haunted by the very ghosts she once exploited for fame.
