), his mother Myrna (Gina Alajar
), and his two sisters Hazel (Lovi Poe
) and Eunice (Sophia Baars
) planned to visit their Lola Susana (Boots Anson-Roa
) during the Christmas Break. During the long journey, Stephen has a dream concerning his deceased father Chuck (Tonton Guttierez): He was running along a forest where he encounters his father's ghost, who encouraged him to be brave for he is the only male member of his family. Chuck's ghost morphed suddenly into a zombie, waking Stephen up, and receiving teases from his little sister.
Upon their arrival in Lola Susana's house, Jong (John Prats
) had already erected their new Christmas Tree. It was over eight feet tall. Hazel even hypothesized that it came from the Amazon rainforest
where its kind were a rare species. A day before the Christmas Eve, the family eagerly decorated it, making it look elegant. However, something eerie grips into the atmosphere. During a night stroll, Stephen noticed Elton John, Jong's parrot disappeared without a trace. Worse, even Eunice's giraffe doll was found torn in pieces, thus, blaming the latter's brother. Even Yaya Sonny (John Lapus
) wonders why the Tree keeps getting tall.
Christmas Eve
descended finally. After a sumptuous Christmas feast, the family was ready to sleep. However, Yaya Sonny, wanted to add a couple of Christmas balls. He noticed something strange within the leaves of the tree: green feathers, evidence that the tree supposedly "ate" Elton John. In a worse turn of fate, Sonny was tragically eaten by the Tree itself.
Things began to became tense. Stephen, having heard of the commotions downstairs, wakes his Ate Hazel to investigate. Jong then arrived to the scene next. The three witnessed the horrendous transformation of the Christmas Tree: All those times, there was a monstrous tree dwelling within the eaves of the Tree itself. Before they could run, Jong was knocked out by the monster. Thinking he was dead, Hazel and Stephen raced to their mother's room, narrating them that the Christmas Tree was truly alive. Myrna dismisses Stephen's story, telling him there were no such things as monsters.
Myrna was wrong: Judging by the stomps heard in the stairs, the Christmas Tree was now upstairs. She peered on the door, only to find out that the monster tree was outside. Danger and tension prevailed over the next events. Myrna warned Lola Susana to stay in the room, while Hazel and Stephen make a diversion, tripping the Christmas Tree.
Hazel and Stephen rushed to the kitchen, while Lola Susana, Myrna and Eunice escaped to the car. Hazel found something: acid
. She also found her Uncle Jong unconscious on the floor. Acid will kill the tree. Stephen, having experienced being a baseball
player, threw the bottles of acid, missing the first two. At his third turn, the acid went straight to the Tree's mouth, killing it.
), a young and beautiful woman, falls in love with the ultra handsome Jerome (Dennis Trillo
). They fall in love and went on a date at an amusement park
. However, a mysterious woman (Eugene Domingo
) warns Marionne not to sleep otherwise she will die. Before the woman can exit the park, she encountered a red cloaked figure, that strangles her killing her in the process.
In her dorm, Marionne wakes startlingly, remembering it was a dream. Her office mate Tatin (Jaymee Joaquin
) then saw her drawing a picture of the red-cloaked figure: the red-cloaked figure that strangled the woman in her dream. She remembered that her grandfather died of a bangungot (nightmare
). Tatin said it was nonsense. Marionne, concerned for her grandfather's past, unlocked the latter's room. Shortly after she set foot, eerie things flew in the air.
The young woman was revealed to be a candle sales lady. She and Tatin have been friends. One day, her brother Tonton (Jayson Gainza) and a handsome man arrived at the shop. This man was Jerome: the same Jerome in Marionne's dream. The latter informed them that he will be leaving for one week; shockingly, he was engaged to a woman named Florence (Pauleen Luna
), a fact that Marionne became jealous of.
Later on, a young girl (Andrea Torres) wants to order a large candle. Marionne notices the strange-looking parchment with strange words written in ink. She demands what is the girl's purpose for the candle. The latter said that if you want to dream of your love ones, and him to you, she must light a candle before sleeping, and chant the words in the parchment. But she must wake up before the candle is consumed otherwise she cannot leave the dream.
Eager to try this, Marionne kept the parchment and did as the girl said. After the ritual was performed, eerie events began to manifest to Jerome and Marionne. The red-cloaked figure reappeared and attempted to strangle the two. Thinking it was a hallucination, they both dismissed it.
Late at night, Marionne visited Jerome in the office, stating that she cannot sleep. She and Jerome began to hallucinate again: the phantom reappeared once more and tries to strangle them again. As they share a kiss of comfort, Florence appeared. Shocked by what she saw, she too was nearly strangled by the phantom, but was comforted by Jerome. Seeing this, Marionne cannot stand this, making her chase the two.
Jerome and Florence walked out of the shop, finally ending up in the peak of an overpass. Florence stumbled and she cannot walk. Meanwhile, the phantom once again reappeared, this time, Jerome confronts it and they both jumped off the overpass. Florence discovered that she too was dreaming.
Marionne, having witnessed of the events before, rushed into the hospital, where she reveals the shocking truth: she and Jerome died already after the spell was performed; this explains why Tonton, Florence and Tatin could not feel Marionne's presence. Florence told them everything, and so as Tatin: in a flashback, the ghost Marionne saw herself performing the spell, afterwards, she collapsed in her bed, apparenty dead. Tatin shooked and jerked her up but she would not wake up. Florence's story matched Tatin's: the former found her fiancé hunched in the table but he was alreday dead in his sleep. Another thing is: Marionne's grandfather did not died of a nightmare, but of a heart attack and the events happening now is only a bangungot for Marionne. Jerome, who was on a critical state, dreams of Marionne hugging him very tightly; this means that the event that he confronted the red phantom, Jerome, too, found out it was a bangungot. He revealed that the red phantom was the ghost of Marionne herself. Should she let go of Jerome, he would have returned in the living world, but she would not, thus, killing Jerome in a bangungot.
Final Episode On Stories.
heads for a gig in a remote province. During the long journey, not many of the young band members talked too much, while, their manager Hans (Jojo Alejar
) keeps complaining why he's the one who should drive. Meanwhile, Tonee (Jewel Mische
) and Ian (Felix Roco
), who were long-estranged couple, ignored each other. Vince (Mart Escudero
), the leader's band and Richard (Matt Evans
) have a small commotion, only to be stopped by Richard's ex-girlfriend Dang (Melissa Ricks
).
The group stopped into a small store beside the road. The others decided to relax while Vince and Dang disappeared from view. The two latter confronted each other; Vince revealed he will be leaving them soon, a fact that Dang objects strongly.
Back at the store, Lucio (Nanding Josef), a local townsfolk, warned them to stay in sight, for they might be kidnapped by an engkanto
(forest guardian in Filipino mythology). He then told of the story of his son Paeng (Sam Concepcion
): the latter was gathering firewood when he was suddenly grabbed by someone or something. He then also explained that the engkanto was the reason why they are lost in the middle of nowhere.
Worse, the bus ran out of gas, forcing the band to take refuge in an abandoned resort. Dang, Ian and Tonee then encountered a young and beautiful woman clad in white. Tonee and Ian asked where is the beach. They followed the woman's directions but were lost. Tonee lost her temper but Ian wants to court the young woman. Accidentally, he was bitten by the woman, who revealed to be the engkanto (Katrina Halili
).
Vince then encountered Paeng, the aforementioned boy who was kidnapped by the engkanto. He, Dang and Richard demanded that who did this to him and who is this. As they speak, the engkanto summoned her slaves to hunt the band down. Hans, who was looking for gas, was bitten. Meanwhile, Dang met a retreating Tonee informing the former that Ian was killed by the engkanto and made her slave. Sadly, Tonee too was choked to death.
Paeng and Vince then lured the slaves to the beach, discovering they fear water. They formulated a plan: he and Dang will ward off the slaves while Paeng, Richard and Tikoy (Hector Macaso) refilled the bus's gas. Paeng then noticed the tree beside them; this was supposed to be the engkanto's lair. They must burn it to kill the engkanto.
The engkanto, who stopped in her tracks for she fears water, rushes to Richard and choked him hardly. The young man can hear what the latter was saying: he (Richard) was the one she need. Paeng, meanwhile tossed the matches in the air, burning the tree and killing the engkanto.
With all things seem to be alright, the remaining band members visit Paeng's home where his father warmly welcomed him. But, something in their plans went horribly wrong: no matter the engkanto's home was burned down, she will only move into a new dwelling, for she is a spirit of the nature. Mang Lucio was right: Richard was kidnapped by the zombie engkanto and was never seen again.

Trivia
- Of all Shake Rattle & Roll installments, this is the most expensive, garnering a budget of 68 million pesos. Apparently it was because of he "Christmas Tree" episode.
- The Christmas tree bought for the first episode looms at 8 feet tall.
- Many of the cast members (save Tonton Guttierez, Gina Alajar, Eugene Domingo, Roxanne Guinoo and Nash Aguas) were first timers in this movie.
- This is also the first Shake Rattle & Roll that features a story with the background of engkantos. (Shake Rattle & Roll X did the same idea).
- In "Bangungot" episode, the chase between Jerome, Florence and the red phantom took place in an overpassOverpassAn overpass is a bridge, road, railway or similar structure that crosses over another road or railway...
. Director Mike Tuviera and crew had to close it from traffic. - Some viewers maybe confused with the twist of the second episode: Marionne and Jerome died shortly after the spell was performed; the events after they died where Marionne and Jerome share their first kiss was a bangungot for them. This is the evidence why the red phantom manifested after the spell was inaugurated. It means all the characters in the succeeding scenes were shot as a bangungot.
