‘SRR XI’: A blockbuster once again

The “Shake, Rattle & Roll” franchise has been a veritable training ground for new directors like Topel Lee, Paul Daza, Richard Somes and Michael Tuviera. Now, “Shake XI” gives the break to three more new directors: Rico Gutierrez (a TV director) who megs the “Diablo” episode, Don Michael Perez (a scriptwriter) who megs “Ukay-Ukay” and Jessel Monteverde (a music video director) who megs “Lamang Lupa.” It’s not surprising for Regal Entertainment to keep on making a new “Shake” flick each year as it has proven its bankability at the box-office time again. This year, “Shake XI” is once again a blockbuster, which shows it really has a niche market. When we saw it at MoA, whole families were lining up, parents with their kids in tow. We ourselves saw it with our two grandchildren.

The first episode, “Diablo,” is the most technically accomplished. Director Rico Gutierrez makes use of some good special effects and imagery to enhance his storytelling, but the fact remains that it’s not original and very derivative of “The Exorcist,” which has been done in other local films and TV shows before. The story revolves on Maja Salvador, a medical intern who has lost her faith and becomes possessed by an evil spirit. In fairness to Maja, she’s splendid as the possessed girl. Mark Anthony Fernandez is her former boyfriend who left her to become a priest and now performs exorcism on her. But how come someone else dubbed his lines for him?

The episode’s tone and atmosphere are all very scary, but it doesn’t have any of those manipulative boo moments that can be cheap but surely give viewers a good jolt. What Rico succeeds in doing is pay tribute to the very first “Shake” movie with Janice de Belen doing a cameo in a short scene recalling her participation in the “Pridyider” episode directed by the late Ishmael Bernal in 1984.

The next episode, “Ukay-Ukay,” is more successful in eliciting screams from the viewers, especially from the kids. Ruffa Gutierrez (looking as elegantly beautiful as ever) is an antique expert who gets this vintage gown from a secondhand store not knowing it’s haunted. It has a life of its own and ruthlessly murders her designer friend, John Lapus, who really goes to town in his death scene that is mixed with comedy as he barks at the gown that springs to life: “Gown ka lang, designer ako!”

In a flashback, it’s revealed that the gown was once owned by a woman (Megan Young) who was jilted by her lover (Carlo Guevara) on their wedding day about 50 years ago. The back story becomes convoluted when Ruffa turned out to be related to Carlo, who’s now an old man. Honestly, this plot contrivance sounds ridiculous but Ruffa’s presence makes it all worth watching as she also gives the role her best shot.

The last episode, “Lamang Lupa,” is the only one that doesn’t really work. It starts with cops interrogating Jennica Garcia about the mysterious murders of her friends with whom she went camping out in the forest. Their story is then told in flashback. Some of Jennica’s friends piss and kick a mound (nuno sa punso) and, because of this, they fall prey to monstrous-looking creatures that inhabit the underground.

The script fails to make us sympathize with the characters and some of them really deserve to die for not learning how to respect nature. Frankly, we don’t really care if the lamang lupa would eat them all alive and we also don’t know what to make of the lamang lupa as their looks have never been part of local folklore. What we know of lamang lupa is that it’s the nuno or dwarf but the ones we see here are hideous looking monsters who bite the neck of their victims like they’re vampires. Also, nothing in the episode is really scary. It’s good the two previous episodes work, so you won’t feel totally cheated when the movie ends with the weak final episode.
