Synopsis

This Filipino vampire film co-directed by Peque Gallaga and Lore Reyes tells the story of an aswang, the traditional shape-shifting creature of local legend. Here, the vampire makes appearances as a giant snake, a young woman (Alma Moreno), and a withered old hag (Lilia Cuntapay). The aswang has a lengthy cinematic history, having been the subject of the first sound film ever produced in the Philippines (1932's Ang Aswang) and migrating, in somewhat altered form, to films in Hong Kong, India, Japan, and, in 1994, to the United States. Aiza Seguerra co-stars with Janice de Belen, Aljon Jimenez, John Estrada, and Alma Moreno.

Leofwine_draca ASWANG is one of many filmed versions of the same story about a malevolent Filipino spirit known as the Aswang, which preys on babies and young children. An innocent family get caught up with a local variant of said spirit, a beautiful woman who lives in the wood and periodically transforms into a hideous monster. Things begin promisingly with an arresting household massacre but then become excruciatingly slow and cheap, only to pick up for a fun, mildly cheesy climax.
Jolly Rancher If you ever watch this movie you'll know what I'm talking about when I say scary. The movie is about a little girl and her young nanny moving to a village where a beautiful woman that can transform into animals or people terrorizes the place. The scary women is like a vampire but she doesn't just like drinking blood, she actually eats everything but the bones and particularly little children and babies. She even eats unborn babies inside pregnant women using her snake tongue. Now, imagine visiting a small village near jungles and it is haunted by a gorgeous monster-changing cannibal woman. People are missing and bones are being found. You would feel so insecure and you would trust no one. This is a must see for horror fans. The ending is as great as the beginning and the story just gets spookier by the minute. I hope they make this movie with English voice overs so that people in the US can watch this.
princesse_laya "Just because someone scolds you doesn't mean they don't love you." So how does that gem of advice relate to this supernatural/horror movie? You better watch and find that out for yourself! An aswang, in Philippine folklore, is a vampire that is also a shapeshifter. It particularly relishes babies in the womb or little children, but is not averse to feeding on adults when it's hungry. Alma Moreno plays the beautiful aswang in this movie. A very young Aiza Seguerra plays a rich kid on the run from assassins, and Manilyn Reynes plays her long-suffering yaya, or nanny. The village they happen to hide in also happens to be terrorized by an aswang. So how to kill it? I particularly like the part where the aswang changes from pretty woman to crone to cat and back again, as she strolls in the forest. And watch for the ending, it has a particularly nice twist to it. Just watch it, period.
