5.0 out of 5 stars Better Than Hitchcock?, September 2, 2003

By	Blackie "mikeblackmat" (Racine, WI United States) - See all my reviews

This film would have been a lot funnier with Steve Martin and Queen Latifah in the starring roles. But it does stand well on its own. It scared me. It scared my wife. And it scared the house full of kids (believing they were watching TOY STORY),that our six year old showed it to when we forgot to take it out of the DVD player. Angry parents? Let me tell you.
For horror fans who have become jaded by the run-of-mill teen scream films of late. ASWANG is a breath of fresh air. All the gore we've come to expect AND an actual storyline, too. Why no sequel??!!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars 3.5 stars, April 17, 2005

By	J. Kramer "Carpenter L..U 45" (Bronx/Queens , NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Well I give this movie 3 andf a half stars. First off it is a low budget movie for those who dont know. That for sure dont bother me especially in this case. On occasion it has the look and feel of a movie from the late 70's which is awesome. This movie is about Vampires , well phillipino vampires. It is very original, the acting on occasion is kind of cheesy, but what would you expect from a "b" movie. The originality was there, the acting was decent a majority of the time, the gore was there enough to satisy anyone as I love a good gory movie and i was pleased they ddint over due it as some movies do. the directors were creative and I feel did an excellent job.

I dont reccomend this movie to people who are fand of movies such as " Scream " , " Jeepers Creepers " or " I know what you did last summer " or those type of movies. This movie has the feel of an older 70's movie at times as I stated. Being a fan of horror movie from the 70's and 80's , I can appreciate a movie such as this. The idea and originality and I feel the creativeness was excellent any real horror fan I think would be satisfied and think it was a pretty solid movie. I had brought this movie from Best Buy for $14.99, took a shot on it didnt look at reveiews or anything just brought it, I just had a feeling and I was right. Im glad I didnt go buy all of these negative reviews i read on here. TO ME it was worth the money and i was satisfied ,as we all have different taste alot of you may think its a waste. But i would also assume that if people who watch this movie like the same type of movies as i do, whcih a majority of some of my favorite movies i gave reviews on here at amazon, then they should be satisified. Other words for all you kiddies who think you know what a good horror movie is but you really dont , I wouldnt advise you get thios I doubt you will be happy. Thats IMO.
