The young survivor of a relentless slaughter discovers that there is no escaping her true fate as the spirits of the dead arrive to seek supernatural revenge. It was Christmas evening when a mysterious killer massacred the Verlaine Commune, and the only survivor to emerge from the bloodbath was Verlaine's young daughter Rebecca. But Rebecca Verlaine was seriously wounded in the attack, and subsequently fell into a two-year coma. Later, after regaining consciousness, Rebecca is adopted by her aunt and uncle. Her guardians have no intentions of letting Rebecca know about her tragic past, and silently go about raising her as if she was their own daughter. Ten years later, Rebecca has met the man of her dreams and grown into a happy, stable adult. Just when it seems as if life can't get any better for Rebecca, however, the unsuspecting survivor begins to experience a startling series of ominous visions. Though Rebecca may have long since forgotten about her tragic past, the memory of the spirits never fades. Now, as Rebecca races to discover why she has become the target of a supernatural assault, the dead return to correct the mistakes of the past. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

In this adventure, a commercial plane crashes in a remote South American jungle. All but one of the passengers survive. Unfortunately, he was the sheriff in charge of taking a dangerous criminal to the executioner. During the excitement of the crash, the prisoner killed the lawman. Among the other survivors is a famous singer, a washed-up funnyman, a mentally ill teacher, and a writer looking for his sister who married a missionary and is now living in the jungle. Amazingly, she is rumored to live fairly close to the crash sight. The survivors manage to make it to the isolated village where she resides. There the writer learns that his sister's husband has gone insane and that she is dead. The megalomaniacal missionary now believes himself king of the natives and is preparing the author and a few others to become human sacrifices when a neighboring tribe intervenes and saves them. The amiable natives then take the survivors back to the wreckage where navy rescue helicopters are preparing to land. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
