Shake, Rattle and Roll, probably the longest and successful film series in the history of Philippines cinema, debuted and premiered in 1984 under Athena Productions. The movie,megged by veteran directors, Emmanuel Borlaza, Ishmael Bernal and Peque Gallaga, consisted of three episodes, Baso, Pridyider and Manananggal. It came to mind the 60s Pinoy horror classics, i.e.Gabi ng Lagim, Katotohanan o Guniguni?,Konsiyerto ng Kamatayan, Mga Daing sa Libingan, Mga Alamat ng Sandaigdig and Kababalaghan at Kabalustugan?, all consisting with 4 episodes.
SRR was revived after six years, under Regal Films in 1990, considered by fans as one of the best SRR movies, especially its third episode titled Aswang starring Manilyn Reynes.
Most of the series were official entries of the Metro Manila Film Festival with the exception of the sixth installment which was released in January 1997.

Director Chito Roño is reunited with Diamond Star Maricel Soriano for the fifth time in Star Cinema’s horror movie, T2 (Tenement 2). The last four movies that they did were Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin (1993), Separada (1994), Dahas (1995) and Nasaan ang Puso (1998).

T2 tells of Claire (played by Maricel Soriano), a travel agent and a volunteer NGO worker for orphans. She is having marital problems with husband Jeremy (Derek Ramsey) who is asking for a trial separation. Disheartened and distressed, Claire volunteers to deliver an orphan boy to the province of Samar with office driver, Elias (Eric Fructuoso) by land via RO-RO trip (roll on/ roll off). After the boy is delivered, strange things happen on their way home. They found themselves in a convent and is assigned to deliver an orphan girl, Angeli (played by Mika dela Cruz) to Manila. Many strange things happened on their way back to Manila. The young girl tells Claire that “engkantos” or enchanted beings (“mga hindi katulad natin”) want to take her. Claire will do anything to protect her.
T2 is less scary unlike Feng Shui and Sukob. Though predictable, as a whole, it's a well-made movie. Maricel, as usual, is superb, ably supported by talented cast delivering an above average performances. The special effects are likewise excellent. I never experienced traveling the RO-RO way and this movie made me aware of what it is and what to expect. RO-RO is short for roll-on/roll-off, a form of transport system which allows you to hop from one island to another and enjoy the scenery in the comfort of your car. It’s an efficient and economical way to travel from Manila to any destinations in Visayas and Mindanaoplying the western seaboard. Transporting the child from Samar to Manila via RO-RO adds to the tension of the movie. The ferry trip scene is realistically eerie and Direk Roño was able to execute it magnificently.
T2 is currently showing to a SRO crowd in theaters nationwide.
Ms. Soriano is not new to appearing in horror movies. She starred in Vampira in 1997 and Sa Piling ng Aswang in 1999. Likewise, Direk Roño had directed two horror movies, Feng Shui (2004) and Sukob (2006), both certified box-office hits.

Did you know that Malayan Movies’ Ang Manananggal (1927), a silent picture directed by Jose Nepomuceno, was the first Tagalog horror movie? “Even with the crudest equipment, Nepomuceno was able to conjure camera tricks. In one scene where Mary Walter, in the title role, and her fellow manananggals appeared to be half-bodied before a coffin. Don Jose had a portion of the ground excavated. The actors and actresses who portrayed manananggals, therefore, were filmed buried up to the waistline. Subsequent editing made them appear limbless to terrified moviegoers…” (Jose Quirino) Source: A Movie Album Quizbook by Jessie B. Garcia
