Load of rubbish!!

I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

This one's the seventh instalment of the endless SHAKE RATTLE & ROLL franchise. It's another Filipino horror trilogy with a mix of stories that thankfully get better as they go along here. The supposed comedic antics of the first tale, about a fake medium encountering an otherworldly presence, are a bitter pill to swallow and best fast-forwarded. The second story is about a monster in an aquarium and more lively, although it does have one of the most annoying kids I've seen in a film lately. The last story is about a guy and his pregnant wife who are terrorised by creepy demons who look like the monsters in, well, DEMONS. It's pretty scary at times and well worth a look, if you can get past the initial disappointment of that lacklustre first tale.
