I know it is a weird title. It is adapted from the word "Aswong" which is a Filipino vampire that feeds on the unborn. According to the box ... well, let me just type what it says on the back:
"This amazine gorefest was the first horror film ever screened at the Sundance Film Festival, where it caused a sensation in 1994. Aswang was immediately picked up for US distribution, retitled The Unearthing and cut for an 'R' rating. After a brief theatrical release, nervous video chains refused to carry the film and the shocker all but disappeared. This widescreen presentation is the first ever release of the unrated director's cut.
A pregnant girl enters into a strange pact, agreeing to play the part of someone else's wife. She is taken to a huge, isolated estate to give birth.
What happens next will haunt your nightmares for years ..."
Well, that's what the box says. This blurb really doesn't give the film justice. You have to see it.
