Aswang

In a remote forest, a crumbling estate looms behind a veil of mist, its grandeur a quiet invitation to anyone willing to trade freedom for security. Katrina arrives as a desperate, unmarried woman burdened by an unwanted pregnancy, only to be presented with a seemingly generous proposition: marry the enigmatic heir of the household and bear his child, ensuring a comfortable future for both herself and the ailing matriarch. The offer is wrapped in the promise of wealth and stability, yet the very nature of the arrangement feels as if it were stitched together with invisible threads of obligation.

The estate’s inhabitants add layers of unease to the already tense atmosphere. Peter Null carries the weight of family expectations, his polished exterior hinting at unspoken pressures. Olive Null, the frail matriarch, watches from a shadowed corner, her presence both commanding and mournful. Claire Null, a sister lost in her own mind, drifts through the halls like a ghost, while Cupid, the ever‑present maid, moves with a calm that borders on the uncanny. Their interactions suggest a tightly knit community bound by secrets that have been carefully guarded for generations.

Beneath the polished surface, whispers of ancient folklore echo through the corridors. The estate is said to be haunted by Aswang—a mythic creature with a predatory hunger for the unborn. This legend hangs in the air like a low, persistent hum, coloring every conversation and every glance. The notion that something far more sinister lurks behind the family’s polite hospitality creates an unsettling contrast between the estate’s opulent façade and the dark, primal fears it invokes.

As the days stretch into uneasy anticipation, Katrina finds herself navigating a world where opulence, tradition, and an enigmatic dread intersect. The promise of a secure life competes with the growing sense that the price of her agreement may be far higher than she imagined, leaving her—and the audience—questioning what lies hidden in the shadows of the Null family’s legacy.
