ASWANG is a Filipino horror flick and an ill-advised remake of the 1992 film of the same name, which achieved some international recognition after it had a DVD release via Pete Tombs' Mondo Macabro outlet. They really shouldn't have bothered with this remake, though, as it's one of those entirely pointless and listless ones. It's very low key and plays out as a mere soap opera rather than horror flick for the most part. There's a great deal of dialogue waiting to be waded through here before things finally let rip at the climax, with cheesy action and made-up extras seemingly wandering in from the set of THE MAD DOCTOR OF BLOOD ISLAND.
