Aswang: A Journey Into Myth is a fascinating blend of drama and horror, exploring deep cultural roots. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the haunting atmosphere to build as Maria, the protagonist, delves into her research. The film's exploration of trauma and the supernatural is anchored by strong performances, particularly in how the ghost of the Filipino girl manifests—truly eerie yet poignant. The practical effects, while not flashy, serve the mood effectively, accentuating the unsettling nature of Maria's encounters. There's something distinctly atmospheric about how it weaves mythology with a modern narrative, which makes it stand out in the genre. Watching this feels like peeling back layers of both the past and present, revealing unsettling truths buried beneath.
