Patient X (2009)

Starring: Richard Guiterez, Christine Reyes
Director:Yam Laranas

Premise:
A young doctor gets a message telling him the murders of his family have been held in an hospital. He goes there only discover the killer is an aswang, and now her family has come to save her.

My Take:
The movie has an interesting take on the Philipeane aswang legend. Unfortunately as the movie progresses it falls into more into a "killers stalking prey" survival story set in an abandoned building. And the run time is a tad long. Still, it's gets some points for originality and really good cinemaphotography.

Rating: In the middle
