Perhaps the most off beat movie... ever made.

People talk about this movie as if it were the Mecca of horror, trust me they do... funny thing is, I don't see how or why they could think this.

This movie was so bizarre and so abstract that it deflates its self within its self. I don't know how many people have seen this movie but if you haven't read this review before you do.

The movie is said to be based on "TRUE ACCOUNTS" as this is a real practice in the philippians and still goes on to this day -- so some say "shrugs"

Anyways this woman is pregnat, she has the seemingly nice husband who takes her away for a weekend get away to meet the family at a large eerie mansion in the middle of nowhere.

Once there things start to happen. True colors begin to show and true forms are bleeding out of the family... litterally.

It's a modern day vampire take, or it could be I suppose... Like I said, it's based on real accounts so I'm not all together sure what to believe or say at this point. All I can say for 100% certain, this movie is F***ED UP! Trust me.

These people, these ASWANGS drink the fluids of an unborn fetus and then eat it. They do this by extending a large needle like object out of there mouths and into the woman's... um... yeah... thing.

Look, the movie is way out there. It's a sadistic as they come and it's as horrific as they come. Joe Bob Briggs apperantly loves the movie and touts his name on the cover and is also in an interview on the dvd.

The movie ends with a chainsaw wielding maid, a pregnat wife and an ASWANG husband trying to murder his wife.

I give the movie a 1 for movie content
I give the movie a 5 for being the most abstract movie I think I've ever seen.

It's not worth watching. It's got nothing to offer but a strange time and a bad taste in your mouth after it's finished. For those of you who've seen it or like me bought it... I feel sorry for you and I wish we could do something about erasing this one from out memory banks. :(
