Tik Tik: The Aswang Chronicles (2012)

Starring: Ramon Bautista, Joey Marquez, Lovi Poe
Director: Erik Matti

Premise:
A soon to be father and his friends fight of a family of aswang in his remote village

My Take:
The movie isn't really what I was hoping for as bigger budget Filipino movie (similar to Hollywood fluff). There's a lot thrown into the story with relationship between the unwed father and mother and her parents. Many situations led to somewhat comedic outcomes. And there's decent effects and actions. None of it clicked for me, which is too bad because I find the aswang myth fascinating.

Rating: Warning
