WARNING BITS OF SPOILERS AHEAD
I watched the movie, and I began to wonder about the sets used, the props the acting and most importantly the story. So with each passing minute I waited for a wholesome story, what I found was plain and utter bullshit. The acting is laughable, I think the only actor that I like was Dingdong Dante's character because he puts his effort in acting, the rest look stupid and forced to act, the sets look nice, but too small, and the CGI, while some are good, some are bad, The director & writers of this film should have realized how much they failed as a filmmaker. I watched the movie, laughing and at the same time disappointed, there are characters in the film that proved to be useless, and I swear I heard a 'Predator' snarl in one scene and I think I just saw Ryuk from Death Note. I mean ain't that like plagiarizing content, some scenes and story-wise are cliché'd, the characters in the film are dumb enough to not know that the 'aswang' are inside, and as a critic on the net said: "How can I take it seriously, If the film doesn't even take it self seriously." Those are the words that echoed in my head, as I watched the film.
No wonder the film bombed at box office, losing it's 50 million peso budget to Vice Ganda's "This Guy's in love with you Mare". A low budget comedy that went on to sell millions. Tiktik The Aswang Chronicles is a huge waste of money.
It proves that these P.O.S should never be made. The filmmakers should be ashamed of themselves.
