Production

The "2050" segment of Shake, Rattle & Roll Evil Origins marked Richard Gutierrez's return to Regal Films, having done films for the production outfit in his early career. This is also the first time for him to be paired with Ivana Alawi. [6] Ryan Bang was also supposed to be part of the cast but due to scheduling conflicts, Bang was replaced by Lozano.

The production studio called the allegation "entirely untrue". [7]

The film was released on December 25, 2025, as part of the 2025 Metro Manila Film Festival.
