Aurora is a 2018 Philippine horror thriller film[4] written and directed by Yam Laranas and starring Anne Curtis. It serves as an official entry to the 2018 Metro Manila Film Festival and marks Curtis' third and last film of 2018, following her box-office hits and BuyBust.[5] [6] The film is inspired by the 1987 disaster of MV Doña Pazs collision with MT Vector.
The story follows Leana (Curtis) who lives peacefully in the island with her younger sister Rita. Everything changes when a ship named Aurora crashes near their vicinity. Rita has an ability to see dead people, but every time she sees them, disastrous and catastrophic events occur. Leana must then protect the young girl at any cost before it is too late.[7] The film was partially inspired by the sinking of the Philippines' MV Doña Paz.
