“Blood Hunters: Rise of the Hybrids” Teaser Poster
The recent release of Erik Matti’s Buy Bust is still making waves in the industry, which makes Blood Hunters: Rise of the Hybrids a welcome addition into the world of Filipino martial arts cinema.
In the film, an avenging aswang killer teams up with a hybrid and a team of demon hunters to attack the lair of the most powerful underworld warlords, only to find themselves in a twisted trap and a fight to the death.
“My main motivation in doing Blood Hunters: Rise of the Hybrids is to improve the appreciation of Filipino martial arts. We have to change people’s perspective about it,” prizefighter-turned-filmmaker Vincent Soberano (Police Story: 2013) told MB, who also stars in the film.
“They’ve used Filipino martial arts in blockbuster action films like John Wick, Jason Bourne, Frankenstein, and a huge list of other films, but no one knows its Filipino because its always portrayed by Hollywood stars. It’s about time I did,” Soberano recently stated (via CB).
Blood Hunters: Rise of the Hybrids also stars John Arceo (Amok), Janice Hung (Wansapanataym) and Taekwondo Olympian-turned-Makati Congressman Monsour Del Rosario (Techno Warriors, Bloodfist II).
Look out for Blood Hunters: Rise of the Hybrids in 2019. Stay tuned!

Ooh! This looks more stylized and kinetic what what Buy Bustr was going for. Could this be what people wanted out of that movie? I like the long takes.
Now Brazil needs to catch up and make their own brutal martial arts film!
