Erik Matti's TIKTIK: THE ASWANG CHRONICLES Trailer Brings The Creature Action

Todd Brown, Founder and Editor
Veteran Filipino director Erik Matti (Gagamboy, Pa-Siyam, Exodus) makes a welcome return to the genre fare where he first made his name with the upcoming Tiktik: The Aswang Chronicles.

An action-horror film with some comedy elements, Tiktik was shot entirely in a green screen studio with Matti and his partners launching their own post production house to bring their vision of local folklore to the big screen in a way that could live up to their standards.

For the unfamiliar an aswang is a type of creature from Filipino folklore, a beast that can look very nearly human but loves to feed on human entrails and - even better - babies. One of these coming after your unborn child would be bad enough. Matti's story pits a human family against an entire village of the monsters.

We ran the first teaser for this a while back and that has now been followed by a full trailer. Check it below.

    Has the look and style of Twilight films. Looks decent overall.
