With dark shades on and a burning cigarette between his lips, Makoy will do whatever it takes to get back his girlfriend Sonia, who’s pregnant with their child. He makes the trip to remote Pulupandan, her hometown, and is quickly rebuffed by Sonia’s mother Fely. But Makoy has never been one to give up. With the help of Sonia’s father Nestor and his ever-dependable helper Bart, Makoy stays in town to surprise Sonia on her birthday. But alas, Makoy gets into trouble with a group of townsfolk who transform into tiktik—horrific, man-eating creatures with a taste for fetuses that are still in the womb! They are angry, and they are hungry for revenge. Will their thirst for blood and retribution be quenched? Will Makoy finally get his act together, protect Sonia and their baby, and once and for all prove himself worthy of their love? Who will win in the battle between men and monsters?

Tiktik: The Aswang Chronicles Audience Reviews

Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.
Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
arcangel33 Had a lot of promise... poor acting let it down. Oh and the special effects was laughable. It was looking OK on the first act but when the monsters started appearing, I just felt sorry for the director and actors involved. I heard from insiders that the producers rushed this movie so they could be entered in the Metro Manila Film Festival. My advise for the director Erik Matti, next time hire good lead actors. Keep the intent, but get stronger actors. Ramon Bautista was also a huge let down. I was counting on him for some comic relief but he could not deliver his lines effectively. Looked like a deer in the headlights. Joey Marquez was a poor choice as Janice De Belen's husband. How he was selected for the part, I don't know. Must have been a special favor. The only shining light on this was Janice De Belen. She nailed her part.
badzination This film is ridiculously awful. Let me point out the ugly points. 1.) Color correction made the film more unrealistic (not to mention the plot is already unrealistic). 2.) Lots of flaws in the script (ridiculously unrealistic script.ie. The kid's father died, he seems a LITTLE affected at first, but hours later he seems enjoying himself killing beast/mutants/tik-tik. and worst, he killed the enemies with "GARLIC FLAVORED" snacks. 3.)The rifle seems to have unlimited bullets.4.) This film is a big ADVERTISEMENT for product brands everywhere. from cigarette to snacks,candies,soaps etc. 5.) Terribly initiated ending, I mean really? she just splashed the Beast leader with salt? they could have done that from the start. It seems like the intellect of people portrayed in the film is that of a 10 year old.--Don't, just don't ever waste your time with this garbage. cant believe I've sit through the end of this crap. you've been warned.
aang-jbsa WARNING BITS OF SPOILERS AHEADI 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.
SheBlogger of HeBlogs-SheBlogs.com It is true what they say that Tiktik is not just your typical action-horror film. Yes, that is very true. It is action-packed, that I agree. But I don't think I can categorize it as a horror movie in my book. The scary factors in horror stories are not present in this film. My rating for Shock and Scare is half a heart. So there, no need to be wary of watching this movie because you have a weak heart. Tiktik is more of an action-comedy with just a tiny bit element of horror because of the human-eating monsters). But for Laughter and Tears, I give it 4 hearts! It was a really fun movie to watch.Joey Marquez was his usual funny stupid but with a big heart character. I must admit…seeing him again after a very long time of absence in movies, I realized that I kinda missed his antics. Janice was also funny as the typical nagging wife and mother. Ramon Bautista, on the other hand, was a nice and fresh addition. Contrary to what I expected, he was not overacting or corny. He delivered a natural and right amount of comic expressions. Lovi Poe also gave what was required from her and did not overdo it. Like what Eugene Domingo calls a "No Acting Acting" :) The lines and their delivery were simply perfect! Even Dingdong Dantes, whom I never really liked, was great at being an ass****. A natural! Oh, I meant that in a good way, okay? Writer-Director of this film, Erik Matti, made the right choices in his personally hand-picked actors to play these roles.So, for Character Performance I give Tiktik 4.5 gems . Considering that the actors had to act frightened out of their wits by monsters that they don't even see. They were all believable. And oh, let's not forget the villains and their remarkable performances and saliva-dripping appearances. They acted in all seriousness of their monster characters, especially the two patriarchal figures: Mike Gayoso as the avenging father of the mischievous teenage monsters; and Roi Vinzons as the powerful head of the monsters' tribe.It would be hard to separate ratings for Cinematography and Special FX, since Tiktik was shot entirely in green screen and everything depended on computer graphics animation. I was really impressed with the opening credits. It's the first Filipino movie I've seen where the creators really put in too much time and effort in the artistry of the opening credits. It was like watching the opening credits of Batman or Spider-man. Well…not really but almost! And that's saying something, right? READ FULL REVIEW here --> http://heblogs-sheblogs.com/topics/arts-lit/
