Plot
The film is divided into five parts entitled "Braso" (), "Paa" (), "Mata" (), "Mukha" (), and "Puso" (), which all revolve around a hand with an "R.I.P" tattoo.

One: Braso (Arm)
Three neophytes are brought to a morgue while dressed in lingeries for the final part of their initiation to join a fraternity. After snooping around the place, the boys find a detached arm with an "R.I.P" tattoo of a corpse comes to life, much to their terror. The animated hand causes trouble to the group before they escape.

Two: Paa (Feet)
A young mother visits the wake of her daughter's classmate. There, a rabid dog bites her. Soon after, she finds the ghost of the dead child on her tail, seeking revenge after she stole the shoes of her daughter's classmate (which caused the kid's amputated feet and death). She suffers hallucinations of the child. The mother then burns the shoes, ending the ghost's haunting. A year later, the mother is seen in crutches, her leg amputated, finally at peace raising her only daughter.

Three: Mata (Eyes)
Rose, after witnessing her boyfriend kill a man in a road rage, experiences multiple déjà vu of the same incident. To avoid her boyfriend killing the man, she finally shoots him dead instead, hitting his eye. Back in her home, she receives a call from her dead boyfriend who appears in front of her, seemingly killing her or haunting her for the rest of her life. The R.I.P. tattoo on the hand is shown lighting a man's cigarette in one of the scenes.

Four: Mukha (Face)
Rizza is an editor with a cold and heartless attitude. After she fires Mang Bong, the janitor, she is then haunted by ghastly figures. It is then revealed to be a prank by the late night shift employee Eric. After Rizza finds out about this, she becomes infuriated. Eric then receives a call, telling him that Mang Bong died from suicide. Meanwhile, Rizza enters the elevator and angrily shouts "You're fired!" unaware that the real ghost is behind her. The episode ends with Eric finding her inside the elevator, traumatized by the ghost. She then suddenly becomes crazy. During Mang Bong's suicide, an employee waiting outside buys a balut which is handed to him by a man whose hand bears the R.I.P tattoo.

Five: Puso (Heart)
Emily, a circus woman with an unflattering appearance uses a love potion on her love interest, Elvis, who works in the carnival's horror house. While the potion works, Elvis is brutally stabbed to death by a crazed member of the audience. Hell ensues at the carnival as Elvis returns undead and chases Emily, killing all who try to obstruct him, even his own girlfriend. After Emily cuts off Elvis' arm, it comes back to life, causing her to die from a heart attack. It is revealed that the arm is the same arm in "Braso", and that Elvis is the one with the R.I.P. tattoo.
