Summary:	A pregnant woman is plagued by hungry vampires waiting to suck the life out of her unborn baby in this horror movie based upon the Filipino legend of Aswang the vampire. Peter Null (Norman Moses) stands to inherit his family's estate, but first he must successfully procreate as per his mother's wishes. He gets a golden opportunity when Katrina (Tina Ona Paukstelis), a single pregnant woman, shows up at his door looking for help. They strike a deal to give her child to him and his wife in return for a big cash payment, and set out to convince the Null family matriarch that they are truly in love. They travel to the isolated Null family mansion located deep within a menacing forest. In the familial home Katrina meets the menacing family including the scary and crippled Mrs. Null (Flora Coker), her devoted Filipina maid Cupid (Mildred Nierras), and Peter's insane sister Claire (Jamie Jacobs Anderson), who is locked up in a cabin. Peter becomes agitated when he discovers that a holidaymaker, Dr. Harper (John Kishline), has found a number of strange skeletons in cocoons buried within the surrounding forests. But Katrina is more concerned by the bizarre behaviour displayed by Mrs Null and her servant. Little does she know that they belong to a family of bizarre vampires whose taste for blood extends only to the unborn. Soon the blood begins to flow...
