Lamang lupa, demons and a haunted wedding gown wreak havoc in Shake Rattle and Roll 11
Mark Anthony Fernandez and Maja Salvador are paired together for the first time in the Metro Manila Film Fest entry Shake, Rattle & Roll XI
.
Despite the cheerful atmosphere of the Yuletide season, Regal Films has made it a tradition to scare families with their horror franchise Shake, Rattle and Roll. This 2009, moviegoers will be able to watch the 11th installment of SRR for the annual Metro Manila Film Festival.
Also known by its initials SRR, this three-part movie takes inspiration from Filipino mythology to shock and entertain viewers at the same time.
The episode "Lamang Lupa" features young stars Jennica Garcia, Rayver Cruz, Iya Villania, Mart Escudero, Bangs Garcia and twin brothers Dominic and Felix Roco.
The story focuses on the lamang lupa of Philippine mythology. A group of friends go camping only to find themselves relentlessly pursued by ferocious creatures who are not dwarves but lamang lupa. Unknown to the barkada, they "disturbed" the creatures' sacred area and they will pay the price for their mistake. The director for this episode is Jessel Monteverde.
"Diablo" stars Maja Salvador and Mark Anthony Fernandez, two of the finest performers of their generation. Directed by Rico Gutierrez, the episode revolves around Claire, a young doctor-intern at a provincial hospital who is haunted by demonic visions after she encounters a female patient suspected of carrying a deadly flu virus. Claire's aunt brings her to Fr. Ronnie who turns out be Claire's ex-boyfriend. Old flames are rekindled as Fr. Ronnie and Claire battle the demons.
Completing this "horror-fest" is the "Ukay-Ukay" story with Ruffa Gutierrez and Zoren Legaspi as a would-be couple Kayla and Harold whose wedding plans are deterred by a possessed vintage gown. When it falls into their hands, heavy breathing, nightmares, dragging footsteps and an apparition of a headless bride start happening. Instead of planning a wedding, Kayla must now fight against the evil spirits. Megan Young is also cast in this episode. Writer-turned-director Don Michael Perez is at the helm.
"SRR 11 is still the same scare and excitement that people have grown to love all these years, even more," says producer Roselle Monteverde-Teo. "This year, we're tackling horror concepts that are very unique to our culture in more thought-provoking and exciting ways."
The haunting happens again when Shake, Rattle and Roll 11 opens in theaters nationwide starting December 25, 2009.
