Regal Entertainment is set to send chills down the holiday season as it brings back one of the country’s most beloved and enduring horror franchises—Shake, Rattle & Roll—with its highly anticipated Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) 2025 entry, Shake, Rattle & Roll: Evil Origins. Known for its spine-tingling stories and unforgettable monsters, the SRR series has been a staple of Filipino cinema for decades, and this new installment promises to be its most terrifying chapter yet.

A Return to the Beginning

As the title suggests, Evil Origins dives deep into the roots of the horrors that have haunted viewers through the years. Instead of simply delivering standalone scares, this edition pieces together the origins of the franchise’s most iconic creatures and myths, offering fans both nostalgia and fresh, gripping storytelling. Regal Entertainment aims to reintroduce the fear factor that defined SRR while elevating it with modern filmmaking techniques, eerie worldbuilding, and a bold narrative vision.

New Stories, New Scares

While staying true to the anthology format, Shake, Rattle & Roll: Evil Origins introduces three chilling episodes crafted by some of the industry’s top directors and writers. Fir the first time, the sequels were all connected with each other starting from the first episode where it all started, 1775 then 2025 and 2050. All these years played a significant role in the movie as a whole.

Audiences can expect haunting atmospheres, sharp twists, and emotionally charged storytelling that goes beyond jump scares. With high-caliber production design, upgraded visual effects, and a mature, darker tone, Evil Origins seeks to push the boundaries of the franchise without losing what fans love most.
