We watched the Zombadings 1: Patayin sa Shokot si Remington in Gateway Mall, Cubao,Quezon City. This independent film was shown in mainstream for several weeks and rated ‘A’. It was directed by Jade Castro. The cast with the major roles are Martin Escudero (Remington), Lauren Young (Hannah), Kerbie Zamora (Jigs), Roderick Paulate (gay who cursed Remington), Janice de Belen (Remington’s mother), and John Regala (Remington’s father).
The setting of the film is of this modern time where homosexuality is being tolerated and criticized. Circumstances happened in the scenes are from a rural place (Lucban, Quezon).
Zombadings made me react into an individual who puts her feet inside the shoes of the characters in the story. Yes, it’s a horror-comedy film, but it also made my tears fall in the end because of the father-and-son agreement. I have never run out of gay friends and for the thought that their parents still accept them of who they are soften my heart. As I have interpreted the advocacy of this indie film, it lets us come to realize that people of the third sex, particularly of the gays, should not be discriminated, feared, hated, or even zapping them with a ray gun! :))))
The gay lingo heard from the film is very entertaining and funny but in contrast to this, I think that it is not suitable to be mentioned, most especially, the vulgar and obscene language because there is a wide reach of audience and even a child can mimic.
Remington, as a child, is very fond of teasing the gays. “Ayy… bakla, bakla, bakla!” was always his word of mouth whenever he sees one of those. When he and his mother went in a public cemetery, he encountered Roderick Paulate (a gay grieving) and so, because Remington teased him, he cursed Remington to be one of the gays after fifteen years. But before the curse would take effect, he liked a girl of his age whose name is Hannah, as portrayed by Lauren Young. From then on, the wonderful adventure of Remington already began. Symptoms of acting gay, he found out that he is having a crush on his childhood best friend, Jigs (Kerbie Zamora). By the time Remington confessed this feeling to Hannah, Jigs was there secretly at the moment and heard the revelation. Jigs had several relationships with gays so he also confessed this to Remington and they had their confrontation to the point that they were both already tempted physically to make love. Hahaha! Truly very hilarious – Awaaaard! :D

Upon solving the mysteries of the crime in their barrio, Remington found out that it was his father’s friend who zaps and kills gays with the ray gun. Remington’s mother (Janice de Belen) was the chief police officer who is assigned to solve the secrets behind the case. In the end, for Remington to break the curse, he should look for a man who doesn’t have any gay love experience! As a result, his father voluntarily devoted himself for Remington’s replacement to break the curse. And finally, he became a real man head over heels with Hannah and remained as Jigs’ best friend. :>
I can’t wait to see the next film after this. ZOMBAAAA 2! :D
XOXO, Laiza ;)
