Synopsis by Sandra Brennan

A pregnant woman is plagued by hungry vampires waiting to suck the life out of her unborn baby in this low budget horror movie. It is based upon the Filipino legend of Aswang the vampire. Peter Null 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, a single pregnant woman, shows up at his door looking for help. They strike a deal and set out to convince the Null family matriarch that they are truly in love. They travel to the isolated, Null family manse located deep within a menacing forest. Of course, it is haunted. In the familial home Katrina meets the menacing family including the scary and crippled Mrs. Null, her devoted Fillipina maid Cupid, and Peter's insane sister Claire who is locked up in a cabin. Soon the blood begins to flow.
