The demon terrorizes the set and forces Mona to help him frame another actress, but Mona ultimately resists his control. Another story follows a scarred, demonic creature who emerges from a fire to terrorize a family and their child, with the monster forcing the father into complicity through threats before the family flees into the countryside seeking refuge from the murderous being.
In a remote European forest, a long-dead man’s skeleton, buried in fertile soil, is mysteriously reanimated into a nameless, emotionless creature driven solely by curiosity. When the beast emerges, it begins tearing apart living things to understand what makes them alive, starting with a farm family’s fierce guard dog and then escalating to their daughter. As the townspeople hunt the creature, a sudden storm begins to weaken it—its form dissolving in the rain—while the family’s young daughter is taken, leaving behind a trail of mud and leaves.
In the heart of Hollywood, temperamental movie star Mona Markham encounters a mysterious man named Zarra, who claims to be a being from another world offering her unimaginable power. As their dangerous game unfolds, Mona is forced to confront the true cost of ambition when Zarra tests her cruelty by killing a man with a mere command—leaving her to choose between power and humanity.
Haldo, a fraudulent mystic, grows increasingly confident in his ability to manipulate spirits after a strange voice warns him of danger—only to later discover that his supposed "powers" may be real, and that his assistant Max may not be who he seems. As Haldo revels in his newfound control, a terrifying confrontation unfolds between him and a figure claiming to be Max, leading to a chilling realization about the true cost of his deception.
Felinás, known as the Tiger Boy, struggles with his identity and the cruelty he endures at the circus, where he forms a bond with Ruby, a kind soul who dreams of leaving with him. When his tormentor Rocko confronts him one night, the tension erupts, leading to a violent clash that forces Felinás to flee and unleash the wild animals he’s long felt kinship with. As the circus men pursue him, Felinás faces a choice between fleeing with his animal companions or surrendering to the world that fears him.
