You HAVE to see this - and then ask yourself how original one of the central parts of that film is. Some parts seem - to me - to be direct "borrowings". I actually like Filipino horror films - they tend to be fantastic, have pretty good production values (other than the monster costumes and mad-scientist sets), and have some fine actors in them. This one has good camera-work, good lighting, the soundtrack works. Filipino horror films, like Mexican ones, also have different religious undertones that add something to them.
The acting is usually solid, although the dialogue probably would flow better if the Filipinos spoke Spanish. Vic Diaz, who is in this one, is great. If you like him, check out his flatulent vampire in Vampire Hookers.
Give it a try - the first time I saw it I thought it was just cheesy, but had to see it a second and third time. I'll bet you Tarantino did.
