Shake, Rattle & Roll Extreme

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.

Shake Rattle & Roll Extreme: Filipino anthology horror film with Three segments. Nothing particularly original and the CGI is a bit shaky at times but it's worth watching. The three chapters are each 45 minutes long, a running time which is justified only in Rage. Glitch: if you're a little girl then be careful of borrowing your nanny's phone and coming across an old children's TV show hosted by Gary the Goat. He comes to life possessing a stuffed toy goat (now it's overstuffed) and mayhem ensues. Some very graphic violent scenes as a pet and people are slain. The demon looks like Krampus and there;s a reason for this which becomes clear as the story unfolds. Directed by Richard V. Somes, Written by Noreen Capili & Anton Santamaria. 5.5/10. Mukbang: a group of social influencers travel to a mansion to collaborate with two influencers who live there. A hard wokking chef influencer cooks up interesting cuts of meat, It soon becomes clear to us that the pork involved is actually long pig. The influencers are attacked by shapeshifters - Aswangs. Who then assume their identities. Some really dark humour and satire as well as plenty of gore. Directed by Jerrold Tarog, Written by Tarog & Rona Lean Sales. 6/10. Rage: Meteors fall, parasitic creatures emerge and turn humans into crazed Zomboids. They are violent and fast moving, charging in hordes and individually. Retaining most of their intelligence they're smarter than your average Zombie. Much hacking with hatchets, biting, shooting and running over Zomboids who seem to be still alive if "possessed". It becomes clear that the meteors have fallen in at least 40 countries, this is a world wide event. This segment has the potential to be expanded into a full length movie. Directed by Joey de Guzman, Written by Trisha Mae Delez. 8/10. On Netflix. Overall score 6.5/10.

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.

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.
