Shake, Rattle & Roll XIV Film Teaser Trailer Review
It is another year for Metro Manila Film Festival and you know what that means right? Regal Films will once again feature another set of horror anthology in their already annual Shake, Rattle, and Roll film series. This time Regal seemingly plays it a bit by incorporating a bit of sci-fi with aliens and zombies.
This is still a teaser trailer for the fourteenth entry in the Shake, Rattle and Roll film franchise, Regal may release an even longer cut of it including official synopsis of it. I am just crossing my fingers that they won't spoil all three titles again with their official PR releases. What can we make up with the three horror episodes in SR&R 14? Well we have ridiculously fast moving zombies or undead in "The Lost Command" which I think is just enough if you pit them against a highly trained military personnel. I just wish the Rgal would try including a genuinely scary or creepy zombie episode without the supernatural mystical element to it. A bit more on the sci-fi side which they went with "Unwanted".
"Unwanted" features a fresh for a sci-fi theme for a Filipino horror film. Well of course, the CG still needs some major improving but the Philippine Cinema is getting there. The episode features Vhong Navarro who throws some witty lines that might put the "roll" in Shake, Rattle, and Roll 14. I just wish they can seamlessly marry in practical effects with CG-visual effects together to create one convincing horrific moments in one episode. The biggest complain I had with past SR&R entries is that they seem to be heavily depend on CGI-effects which may save them a few bucks but at the looks horrendously lame in the big screen. Let's just hope that this shake, Rattle, & Roll XIV alien invasion episode would deliver.
Finally we have a Regal Films horror regulars with Janice De Belen, Herbert Bautista and Arlene Muhlach with a cliched plot with "Pamana". The mere sight of a tiyanak (which resembles more of a duwende) and a very traditional Count Dracula type of vampire is more that enough to give you an impression on what to expect on this episode.
Hopefully Regal would expand or pick up on what episodes people would like on the 2012 MMFF entry of the Shake, Rattle, and Roll film franchise. The limited PR information released along with this teaser trailer about the film claims that all three episodes are directed by Chito Roño who is known for directing mostly good horror Filipino films. The question is will it mean that the stories featured here will have a somewhat superb polish that Roño directed films have been known for? I would be looking forward to the alien invasion episode which is probably the main reason why this SR&R title used it as the main subtitle for their 14th installment.
