Englisch A werewolf curiosity clumsily straddling the line between low-budget trash and serious horror drama, the result of which is that this attempt at a gothic movie set in the Philippines will satisfy neither aficionados of serious horror films nor fans of trash flicks. Though it offers a handful of bonuses for the latter – mainly in the form of the indefatigable journeyman actor Vic Diaz in the role of Satan tempting the protagonist in countless outfits. Nevertheless, such enticements only futilely breathe tremors into the lifeless corpse that is this film, in which there is very little that is scary or funny, and only a desperate attempt to weave an existential drama with Faustian ambitions out of C-movie material.
