Vivi, a Filipina American, goes to the Phillipines in order to connect with her family's root. She falls in with some eco-volunteers who end up waking up a demon.
Is this film supposed to be serious or a send up? I don't know.
The horror aspects of this film are incredible, and better than most recent horror films I've seen over the last few years. I absolutely love the demonic creature. If this had been a straight horror film this would have been a masterpiece.
The problem is that I don't know what the eco-volunteers , as written, are doing in this film. The whole lot of them are twits and deserve to die... but in another movie because their badly written cliched interactions kill the film.
I absolutely loved the opening sequence in this film. The monster coming to the door pretending to be a loved one was awesome, but then things shifted once we got to the Western twits and the film fell apart.
While I really can't recomend TAGA , I will say that those who want to see a really cool monster and who want to see some good work by a director who may have a long career directing horror films and thrillers, give this a shot.
