As World War II in 1945 Philippines is coming to an end, a wealthy family is trapped in their country mansion and terrorized by Japanese soldiers who are losing control of the island. The family's patriarch, Aldo, is rumored to have stolen Japanese gold and hidden it nearby. Knowing that his family will be killed if the gold is found, Aldo leaves to seek help from the Americans. His absence causes the family to fear that he will never return, while the mother's health deteriorates. Desperate for help, the family's young daughter Tala turns to a deceitful and flesh-eating fairy, who plans to devour them all.

Nice find! This is on Amazon Prime but at least for me didn't show up scrolling around the menu, I had to search for the title specifically.
Felicity Kyle Napuli has been doing theater since she was little, and TV more recently, but this is her first role that's seen an international release. I can't find an exact date of birth but on her Instagram account there are birthday posts every year between Dec. 15th and Dec. 21st making her DOB mid-December, 2006. She will be 17 in another two months. There's also a post the day production wrapped on this film, dated Jul. 12, 2022 (when she was 15). IMDb incorrectly states it was shot this year.
