The Aswang Phenomenon (2011)

Director: Jordan Clark

Premise:
A documentary which tries to reveal what exactly the Aswang myth is, where the legend came from, and how the creature is viewed in it's native country of the Phillipines.

My Take:
I have always found the aswang to be one more interesting cryptos. The director digs deep into the Filipino folklore in an attempt to categorize the creature. Plus the interviews from locals, who hold firm belief in the creature, are riveting. If you are looking to know more about a unqiue crypto then watch this movie.

Rating: So Good
