"Alvarez does a fine job of crafting a delicate script that nicely explores not only the fantastical Aswang, but its implications in the real world." Stage Raw

"The music of speech subtly works as a metaphor, paralleling the way Farrah and Bosley slowly come to accept reality as it appears in Palawan. The story’s “supernatural” elements work metaphorically, too — an aswang must learn self-restraint (and self-acceptance) in order not to harm others, a lesson each of us must learn, witch or not. When all the layers of a story support one another like this, there’s some first-rate playwriting going on." Theatre Ghost

"This could so easily have been played for just spooky horror and fun. And I would have liked that! What I got instead was humor laced with pathos and human drama--which I liked a lot more!" Night-Tinted Glasses
