Tiktik: The Aswang Chronicles

About This Movie

Tiktik: The Aswang Chronicles is quite something, mixing comedy, fantasy, and horror in a way that feels uniquely Filipino. You’ve got Makoy, this down-on-his-luck guy trying to win back his pregnant girlfriend Sonia, which sounds straightforward, but then you throw in the aswang lore and things get interesting. The practical effects are notably impressive, especially for a budget film — they really bring the creature elements to life. There's a rawness to the performances, particularly from the supporting cast that grounds the outlandish elements. The pacing might not be for everyone, but it captures that tension-releasing balance between horror and humor. It’s definitely a film that stands out in the genre.

Interesting take on Filipino folklore.Strong practical effects for its budget.A blend of humor and horror that’s pretty engaging.
