Mahal is a part of an elite squad of skilled hunters responsible for keeping the world safe from vampires and other creatures of the night. Her mission to rid the world of this undead threat becomes compromised when her fate intertwines with an aswang (a vampire of Philippine folklore).
I think the best way to approach watching "Vampariah" is to go into it with no expectation on how a film about the undead is suppose to unfold.
While many of the visual effects were quite impressive, what I enjoyed most was the tongue-in-cheek humor and the subtle swipes of social satire. This movie is fun, and I think some people watching it are taking it way too seriously.
I also loved the satire on ghost-hunting docudrama-type shows. I wanted to see even more of that.
"Vampariah" is an impressive and ambitious debut-feature!
