ANG DARLING KONG ASWANG Vampire a Hit at Metro Manila Film Festival



Tony Y. Reyes' Ang Darling Kong Aswang, starring comedian Vic Sotto, is the 2009 Metro Manila Film Festival's #2 hit. Apparently Filipinos, like movie audiences elsewhere, have been craving for stories featuring vampires. But unlike the worldwide megahits Twilight and The Twilight Saga: New Moon, in which the vampire is a sexy male (Robert Pattinson), in Ang Darling Kong Aswang the undead is a sexy woman, Christine Reyes.

Ang Panday has been this year's top film. At the other extreme, boxer-turned-actor Manny Pacquiao's vehicle Wapakman has thus far come in last at the box office.

Also of interest, Philippine News offers the Metro Manila festival's criteria for the Best Picture award: "artistry, creativity and technical excellence, innovation and global appeal, 40 percent; box-office earnings in the first three days (Dec. 25-27), 50 percent; and Filipino, cultural and/or historical value, 10 percent."
