Indio Bravo's acclaimed closing night film is a satire of reality television as hilarious as it is unsettling. Baron Geisler (lower left) plays a flamboyant news producer who stops at nothing to deliver a lurid segment on a gay teacher's murder. He insinuates himself into the victim's grieving family, harrasses the teacher's guilelessly sexy former boyfriend (Coco Martin, Serbis, upper left) and seduces and corrupts everyone in his path as he demolishes the line between reporting the news and creating it.

Based on a true account in 1950 about a group of Huk guerrillas in Sierra Madre Mountains that fall prey, one by one, to an invisible enemy. The Huks who are killed are found to have two bite marks on their necks leading to talk that they were slain by "aswang" (vampire).
