"Haunted Universities 3" is a horror anthology film with three campus-related stories, while "The Cursed Land" sees a widower try to take control of a djinn unleashed in his rundown home.

"Mystery Writers" is a horror-drama based on the Jin Xin Building 1984 accident where a fire broke out claiming the lives of 19 people.

Finally, "Z-Mom" takes place in a holiday resort where a mother must save her family from the zombie horde that is taking over the island.
