Being that Patient X is writer/director Yam Laranas' sophmore feature after the atmospheric Sigaw there is some anticipation for it among followers of Filipino genre cinema (which has indeed been booming lately). I just watched the first teaser (via: Twitch) and, while truly just a tease, it does look to be just as atmospheric and nasty as the first.

Synopsis:

A film built around the legendary aswang - a creature from Filipino folklore that hunts human prey and feeds on their entrails.

Patient X star Richard Gutierrez and has only been filming for a few days apparently.

Teaser after the break.

You’ve got to say this:  They work fast in The Philippines.  Writer-director Yam Laranas - best known in these parts for atmospheric horror picture Sigaw - is still hard at work on his upcoming Patient X and already the first teaser has arrived.  He reunites here with his Sigaw star Richard Gutierrez for a film built around the legendary aswang - a creature from Filipino folklore that hunts human prey and feeds on their entrails.  This is very much a tease - loaded with images that must have just been shot in the past few days after they had to re-cast their lead actress for medical reasons - but a damn good one.  Check it below the break.
