Watchable and entertaining enough aswang/vampire horror from the Philipines. Acting is not great and the script is fairly lifeless, but the action - not a slow burner at all - and atmosphere do make up for this somewhat. Print I saw - on Koch Media DVD - was pretty shocking, particularly for something that isn't that old, very dark and grainy, almsot as if it was shot on video tape. Defintely the sort of film that will inspire plenty of moronic, generic rants about it being the 'worst film I've ever seen' or the even more ridiculos 'worst film of all time'. It really isn't either of those, though charges of mediocrity would not be that unreasonable. It's certainly no masterpiece, and I suspect not really for anyone other than avid horror fans, and vampire freaks ! But as I say entertaing enough for fans of the genre.
