ASWANG is one of many filmed versions of the same story about a malevolent Filipino spirit known as the Aswang, which preys on babies and young children. An innocent family get caught up with a local variant of said spirit, a beautiful woman who lives in the wood and periodically transforms into a hideous monster. Things begin promisingly with an arresting household massacre but then become excruciatingly slow and cheap, only to pick up for a fun, mildly cheesy climax.
