Bampinay is the retelling of familiar Asian American themes, but the obvious is replaced by a gracefully campy horror film narrative. Bampinay (Tina Chilip) is a gothy American Aswang (Philippine Vampire) who enjoys taking advantage of naive white male Asia-philes as night approaches. She is pursued by Mahal (Samantha Chanse), a tough young vampire hunter bent on her destruction. When the two clash, they begin to see that their differences are few in their similar day-to-night struggles. This is the first Asian American adaptation of the Philippine aswang in a motion picture. |
