Plot

The film takes place on the Day of the Dead of 1807, in the city of Puebla, New Spain. A narrator starts the plot off with a story about an abandoned house in Puebla, which is haunted by a malevolent force known as “La Nahuala.” 52 years ago, it was the home of the affluent Villavicencio family, who were holding a feast for family and friends for the Day of the Dead. Unbeknownst to them, they were being haunted by a malignant nahuatl who wanted to become all powerful. It killed and possessed the cook's body, turning the woman into La Nahuala, a witchly host, and initiated a ritual to take over. La Nahuala ends up killing the Villavicencio family by poisoning their soups and murders the rest of the household.-Among those killed are the Villavicencio’s young daughter Teodora and Teodora’s servant Xochitl as ritual sacrifices, but before La Nahuala could finish her final victim she was "stopped.” However, her soul and the souls of all the people she killed are trapped in the abandoned house - and it is said she still awaits for a child to come near the manor at night so she can finally complete the ritual.
