Are you refering to the 1992 (or 1999) film doirected by Peque Gallaga? If so, how can I get my hands on a copy? The whole Aswang mythology from the Phillippines sounds interesting, heck I could even say any genre film from the Phillippines would be interesting..I reccomend you check out Lady Terminator!! I also did some research and found out there is an American Aswang film aptly titled ASWANG from 1994.

I have the 1994 edition that was released on Mondo Macabro. After researching for a bit there seems to be videos and a manga but I can't seem to find a link to purchase the manga if that is the series you are looking for. I will keep my eyes peeled for any information.

Aswang? What the heck kind of name is that? What is an Aswang? Or maybe I don't want to know.

The film I have depicts the Aswang as a sort of vampire that feeds on an unborn fetus through a probiscus of sorts. There is apparently a mythology about these creatures and different interpretations of what an Aswang is.
