DECONSTRUCTION: Aswang (2011 film) directed by Jerrold Tarog

Summary:

The story revolves around the abuwak race (Aswang). Thru the generations their numbers had declined and the only way they can grow in numbers again is through the rare ability that only the soon-to-be queen of the abuwaks, Hasmin (Lovi Poe) possesses. 

Abuwaks look human when they're in their normal state, but they can fly and move underground when they transform into raven type of bird. They can also burrow their way underneath the soil.

They are quick and strong, and they can attack and eat humans whether in complete darkness or broad daylight. Hasmin doesn't like all of these, preferring to congregate with humans and even protecting them when her fellow creatures attack the village. 

Meanwhile a hired killer named Daniel was forced by circumstances from he was very young. Like Hasmin, he doesn't really like killing the innocent, and this reluctance is what leads him to the abuwak lair, suggested to be somewhere in Pampanga.

Along with two other killers, they went to Pampanga to finish-off the two remaining members of the family that they massacred in Quezon City.

My Criticism:

The movie changed the idea of what aswang really is based on the traditional feature of aswang have before. Some scenes look over acting because aswang in that movie are visible even if it is already morning. It is not an ideal movie to watch because the effects are unbelievable than those movies before. The ending is appropriate because the main characters finish-off their race because they don't want it. The movie lacks unity because, when we say aswang it should look like a monster but in this movie, they look same as human. In addition, whatever it takes, Aswang is always aswang they can eat humans whenever they want.
