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.

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.

Uttermost disappointment. The writing, production design, and cinematography were such a mess. What a waste of talent for the outstanding actors and actresses. The stories on all these three segments were unoriginal and unappealing. There were scenes that didn't make sense. Props were seemingly poor. The script felt like a bunch of fillers and sounded unnatural. Even the choice for music could have been better. Nothing matches up. Truly, the whole movie was unnervingly cringe.

The franchise is well-loved by Filipinos yet it keeps on getting worse and worst. Thank God it was not qualified as an entry for the MMFF.

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.

I don't understand why a big production would bother making stuff that's been done before and isn't even realistic. The gory bits don't look gory enough - the blood and cuts just seem fake, and sometimes there's blood but no cuts, which doesn't make sense. The props look so very fake too, despite the effort put into creating visually stunning scenes. The acting is bad, and the things the actors do don't make sense either. I used to love watching "Shake, Rattle, and Roll," but now it seems like they're just trying too hard to be trendy and cool for the Gen Z crowd, sacrificing quality along the way. The actors aren't believable enough for everyone to connect with, and the stories feel like they've been recycled and lack originality. Even in the old "Shake, Rattle, and Roll," despite the absence of modern technology, the movies and script writing were excellent. However, this new film of "Shake, Rattle, and Roll Extreme" falls far short of today's standards, with bad script writing, acting, musical scoring, and lighting. And it's also disappointing that the title suggests it's extreme, but it falls short of that expectation, making it feel misleading. There's a notable lack of standout performances, while the rest could use more training, their performances marred by overacting.
