She takes the kids to her blind elderly friend and foster mother, Guada, who explains to them what the creatures are.

The creatures are called Abuwaks - a type of aswang that look like normal humans but can burrow underground to attack and transform into raven-like birds.

Hasmin is forced by their leader Moises to eat Queenie alive but she instead breaks her neck in defiance.

Hasmin changes into an Abuwak to cause panic and distraction, allowing Daniel to escape and Gido to kill the two creatures.

The townsfolk evacuate in fear of further attacks - an event which aggravates the Abuwaks' existence due to their own dwindling numbers.

Earl Villanueva from PEP states in his review that "Aswang is another proof of the Filipino movie industry’s excellence in the horror genre, which should really be the case since we have a rich source of materials in our myths and legends and we have great love affair with the paranormal and everything unexplained.

"[8] Ria Limjap from Spot.ph gave a positive review saying that "This intelligent movie will compel the audience to think along with it—just as much as it will entertain, fascinate, and provide much needed escape."
