Shake, Rattle & Roll Extreme

It's been 9 years since the fifteenth installment came to an end until Regal made a surprising announcement for the franchise to comeback. All the scariness. All the bloodiness. And all the mayhem. Iza has finally came back since SRR 8 but one day there will be a new SRR film the might be as more scarier than previous installments. I also praise the 3 directors who worked so hard with all of the support and care and the cast was nearly remarkable in their chemistry. Sadly, it's a shame that not only the movie never qualify for the MMFF, it was the second film that never premiere on every December most likely it was premiered on November.

The legendary Filipino horror anthology is back, and this time Shake, Rattle & Roll Extreme aims to terrify a new generation with upgraded visuals, bolder themes, and a pinch of social commentary. The film presents three chilling tales-Glitch, Rage, and Mukbang-each tackling modern fears in very different ways.

GLITCH A tech-horror entry following a vlogger whose online persona begins to unravel when supernatural glitches haunt her content. It's visually arresting and relevant in today's digital age, but the story feels undercooked. It raises compelling questions about identity and the internet, but never quite sticks the landing.

RAGE Set during a mysterious comet sighting, this segment shows how a tranquil town turns violent as its residents are gripped by sudden, uncontrollable anger. It's fast-paced, brutal, and emotionally charged. However, Rage feels heavily inspired-almost like a localized version of The Twilight Zone (2019) Season 1, Episode 7: "Not All Men", where a similar cosmic event causes heightened aggression, especially among men.

Both stories explore how deep-rooted rage and toxic behavior can erupt when social filters are removed. While Rage delivers in intensity, it lacks the deeper commentary and nuance that The Twilight Zone episode offered. Instead, it leans into bloodshed and chaos without much reflection, making it feel more like a horror-thriller than a thought-provoking piece.

Still, Rage is one of the more polished and intense entries in recent Shake, Rattle & Roll history.

MUKBANG A disturbing tale about a content creator who gains popularity from extreme eating videos-until her hunger turns into something grotesque. It's creepy, weird, and almost comedic in its absurdity. Definitely the most unique and "Pinoy" of the three, and it leaves a lasting impression even if it's not conventionally scary.

Shake, Rattle & Roll Extreme is a stylish upgrade to the classic horror formula. It's a fun ride with higher production value, but not all stories deliver equally. Rage stands out for its chaos and energy, though it treads familiar ground if you've seen The Twilight Zone's "Not All Men." Overall, it's a solid entry for fans of horror anthologies who want a Filipino take on modern-day fears.

Traditionally, the anthology format of Shake, Rattle & Roll brings a mix of supernatural horror, suspense, and psychological thrills. However, XTreme seems to have forgotten its purpose, offering segments that feel more like heavy emotional dramas with a sprinkle of horror elements rather than the other way around. Instead of heart-pounding scares, we get drawn-out character conflicts, sentimental backstories, and tearjerker moments that overshadow any tension the film tries to build.

Missed Opportunities The film had all the ingredients for a solid horror experience-creepy settings, eerie folklore, and potentially terrifying creatures. Yet, instead of maximizing these, it wastes time developing emotional arcs that feel out of place in a horror anthology. The pacing drags, and just when a segment starts to pick up momentum, it pulls back in favor of sentimental storytelling. While character development is important, it shouldn't come at the expense of the horror experience that audiences paid to see.

Horror That Fails to Deliver Jump scares feel predictable, and the atmosphere lacks the tension that made past Shake, Rattle & Roll entries memorable. The CGI and practical effects are decent, but they don't make up for the lack of truly unsettling moments. It's disappointing to see a franchise that once mastered the art of Pinoy horror now struggling to balance its tone.

I am a fan of shake rattle and roll since I was in elementary in the 1980s. Even though technology is not yet developed around that time, the series movies and script writing was excellent. But this new film of shake rattle and roll extreme is far way to be good in today's time with new technologies and new innovation in movie industry. Script writing is bad, actors are bad, musical scoring is not on point, lightings in some parts are bad. The only thing that good acting here is ms. Iza calzado, the rest can have more training. Lame actors, OVER ACTING that makes it bad and cringey. Bring back the old shake, rattle and roll.

The movie is a great bad movie if you know what i mean, there are many serious moments where you can't help but laugh at the decisions and directing there are abit of cringe in the movie, it seems like a marvel movie at some point where the mother is protecting her children. It is a very fun movie to watch with your family because you can just laugh at the jumpscares at the movie. The movie is also very goffy and funny. The masks here also reminds me of corey taylor from slipknot. The cgi can be horrendous but i guess it's fine and not that much of a big deal. The gore isn't that scary not as scaty as other shows.
