Lola

About This Movie

Lola (2010) presents a unique blend of animation and folklore with its intriguing take on the aswang myth. The story weaves a darkly humorous tale about Lola, an aswang who becomes entangled in the world of film production. The atmosphere is both whimsical and eerie, reflecting the dual nature of its protagonist. Pacing fluctuates, sometimes mirroring the chaotic demands of the director, which adds a layer of satire to the film. The animation style is distinctive, with practical effects that bring Lola's supernatural traits to life in a quirky yet relatable way. The performances, especially the voice acting, add depth to the character, grounding her in a world that's both fantastical and all too real. It’s an interesting exploration of ambition and exploitation set against the backdrop of Philippine culture.
