MMFF Entry 2007 : SHAKE, RATTLE and ROLL 9 movie trailer

SHAKE, RATTLE and ROLL 9 is the only horror film entry in this year Metro Manila Film Festival.

Regal producer Lily Monteverde combined artist from the two giant network, ABS-CBN and GMA 7 to chill our festive moods.

Showing on Chrismas Day are three(3) stories that will rattle your holiday.



The first episode, "Christmas Tree," tells the bone-rattling story of a family who spends a Christmas break at their grandmother's house after recovering from a painful tragedy. As they happily celebrate their warm reunion, the eerie Christmas tree in the living room watches them with unblinking, bloodthirsty eyes, waiting for the right moment to turn each family member into its grand Christmas feast.

Director Paul Daza marks "Christmas Tree" as his feature-film debut. He also co-wrote the script of this segment with Fairlane Raymundo and Enzo Valdez. Nash Aguas (2006 MMFF Best Child Actor) plays the brave Stephen who discovers the key to stop the Christmas tree. Other who complete the cast are John Prats, John "Sweet" Lapus, Nash Aguas, Gina Alajar, Tonton Gutierrez, Boots Anson Roa, Sophia Baars, and Lovi Poe.

The second episode, "Bangungot," spins a daunting horror-suspense thriller about unrequited love. Young and beautiful Marionne (Roxanne Guinoo) is helplessly in love with the ultra-serious Jerome (Dennis Trillo) who is already engaged to Florence (Pauleen Luna). As Marionne decides to confront Jerome, a red-cloaked phantom traps them both into a twilight- zone nightmare that leads to an unexpected fatal twist.

Director Michael Tuviera (Lupin, The Promise, TXT, Shake Rattle and Roll 8: "LRT Episode") will helm the first team up of Dennis Trillo and Roxanne Guinoo for the silver screen. Also joining in the cast are Pauleen Luna, Jaymee Joaquin, Jayson Gainza, and newcomer Andrea Torres.

For the spine-chilling finale, "Engkanto" tells the uncanny tale of a teenage gothic band heading for a gig in a remote province. Unfortunately, they find themselves lost in a forest, forcing them to take refuge in an abandoned resort. Unknown to them they have trespassed the territory of the stunningly tempting Engkanto (Katrina Halili) who has menacingly bound them in an inescapable deathly spell.

Screenwriter Andrew Paredes brilliantly teams up with horror filmmaker, Topel Lee (Shake Rattle and Roll 8: "Yaya Episode," Ouija,) to drive viewers in an unrelenting horrific ride. Engkanto's cast includes Matt Evans, Mart Escudero, Melissa Ricks, Jewel Mische, Felix Roco, Sam Concepcion, Jojo Alejar, Hector Macaso, and Katrina Halili.
