Aswang (2011): Cast, Box Office, Plot & Where to Watch

Against the backdrop of a vampire-mad world, Aswang expands the tapestry of Filipino myth with a chilling, one-day horror-suspense story that intertwines danger, desire, and duty. Directed by Jerrold Tarog, the film returns to the old fears and fuses them with a fresh predator—an abuwak—whose existence tilts toward extinction unless a rare power, held by Hasmin, can tip the balance. Hasmin, played by Lovi Poe, is the reluctant heart of the story: a captivating, almost serene figure whose abilities let her fly and move underground, yet who prefers to protect humans from the predations of her own kind. Her romance with Daniel, a seasoned hitman who was forced into violence from a young age, becomes the emotional core that threads the night together.
