A young, unwed, pregnant girl is made an offer she can't refuse. Marry a rich young man with a wealthy estate to please his dying mother, and she'll be well taken care of. What she doesn't know is the family has plans to sacrifice her baby! Written by

Aswang is a great low budget horror movie... made for next to nothing in the tradition of the evil dead, the film is a knowing and loving treatment of the horror genre. Bizarrely taking philippino foetus sucking vampires ( now relocated to wisconsin!!!) as its storyline the movie packs more set pieces, story lines, deliciously camp moments into its 84 minutes than most big budget horrors could dream of. With a calibre of acting much much higher than could be expected for its budget the film delivers plenty of shocks and gore as well as keeping its tongue firmly placed in its cheek. A real pleasure to watch.... you see it doesnt take an army of computer graphics designers and a hundred million dollars to make a good movie...just some brains, commitment and a thirty foot rubber tongue! great stuff!
