After twenty years, local police captures the murderer of the older brother of a young boy. Now a doctor, he must go back to his old town and face the murderers himself. He then discovers that the murderers are Aswangs (folkloric Filipino vampire-like creatures) and they pose a deadly threat not only to him but also for the entire town.
What does everyone think of this?

Not that bad. Nothing terribly offensive or destructive to a film, but yet I got a feeling it won't be one I'll remember all that much about.

Yeah nothing that memorable on this end either, but fun to watch while it's on.

That name that they mentioned for the vampires rings familiar though. I can't place it but I know I know that name from somewhere.

There is a film called Aswang
Vampires that eat fetuses.
LOL
Aswang was a solid film from the early 90's.

Maybe that was it. I think I saw that one during one of my early rounds of Asian experiences. I'll look it up real quick and see if that was the one I saw.

Aswang was American, maybe your mixed up with another film that uses Aswangs.

According to my IMDb search (http://www.imdb.com/find?s=all&q=Aswang&x=0&y=0):
There's three films, and I saw the second one. The 92 version.

Will do. Check out mine as well, really good stuff from one of my earlier rounds of Asian horror films. If I'm remembering the film right, really creepy and original.

Thanks, I am very happy to have another Asian flick to check out, and to see one from that early is even better |

I really liked it, it was one that I saw which gave me hope that there might be something to the genre, but I can't remember if it was during my second or third try, which would help me out greatly in seeing why I stopped watching them.
