    A Beautiful Film that makes you think

    I saw the film at Another Hole in the Head Festival and was quite impressed. This film depicts the true culture of Filipino people. The director of the film was present at the screening and it was very interesting to understand the history of making of this film. For such a modest budget the director did a great job and the people who were involved in making this film put their hearts into it. It took them four years to make this film which is a great accomplishment. The characters are very strong and the story is told in a fashion that it makes you feel wanting to know more and keep the suspense while you are glued to your seat. The visual effects in this film are superb.

    Indie Film Success!

    Having another breakthrough director do his magic from the Bay Area. This movie has made it mark. A must see!

    Uh... Nine!

    The women are beautiful; and they do a great job with the fighting stunts. For these reasons, I gave this film nine stars.

    Vampire film with a message

    This is a film set in contemporary times with a deep connection to Filipino culture and folklore of the older times. Add in themes of politics, religion, colonialism, sexuality, and gender and you have this film. This is going to be a film that people will study in Asian American Film Studies classes in the future and talk endlessly about the Asian American existence in the modern American Western world. INSTANT CLASSIC. For all others who just want to be entertained this movie moves fast with lots of monsters and mythical characters challenging the journey of the main characters and their opponents of progress towards a better world of acceptance by mainstream thought.

    Great humor mixed in with stylish vampire-slaying!

    I think the best way to approach watching "Vampariah" is to go into it with no expectation on how a film about the undead is suppose to unfold.

    While many of the visual effects were quite impressive, what I enjoyed most was the tongue-in-cheek humor and the subtle swipes of social satire. This movie is fun, and I think some people watching it are taking it way too seriously.

    I also loved the satire on ghost-hunting docudrama-type shows. I wanted to see even more of that.

    "Vampariah" is an impressive and ambitious debut-feature!
