Shake, Rattle & Roll Extreme

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
