Melissa and Yul, Americans honeymooning in China, come across the exotic 'Hungry Ghost' festival. When night falls, the couple end up in a remote village, and soon realize the legend is all too real. Plunged into an ancient custom they cannot comprehend, the couple must find a way to survive the night of the Seventh Moon.
Dog, bear and other animals are shown (albeit not extremely clearly) to have been gruesomely attacked (showing viscera) and the dog makes awful whining sounds as it dies. This is after the couple try to find shelter in a house.
