Zombadings: Patayin sa Shokot si Remington is the first ever zombie comedy film. Director Jade Castro together with the other staffs has conceptualized a different kind of film. It is about a boy who is under a bekimon curse or a curse of being a gay. The curse is from a gay man (Roderick Paulate) at the cemetery who was insulted by Remington (Martin Escudero). A shawl in an old rose represents the curse. It appears every time the curse occurs. Remington slowly changes. First with his gestures, followed by his language and then his sexual preference. He fell in love with a girl named Hannah (Lauren Young) but as the curse gets worse, he also slowly fallen in love with his best friend, Jigs (Kerbie Zamora), it is a love triangle then.
Cases of gay murder rise in their town, Quezon. There’s this guys (Daniel Fernando and Leandro Baldemor) who wants all gays gone from their town, so they stole this gun, a gun formulated by a genius to identify if an animal is a gay or not. The gun can only kill human gays as it identifies them. The case is handled by Remington’s mother (Janice De Belen) and her assistant ( Mailes Kanapi) who were cops of their town.
The killers and Remington’s father (John Regala) are good friends. When the killer was about to kill Remington because he found out that he is a gay, the gay man came in the way so he was the one shot but a certain spell was stated. He was later awake and the same as the zombies. Zombies were all over the town. Remington, Jigs, and Hannah soon found out that the only way to break the curse is to sacrifice, sacrifice of a man who has no experience with a gay love. It soon ended up that the father was the one who sacrificed for his son. He rather becomes gay than his son who has still a lot to experience in the future. It was like their soul interchanged and everything is done and backs to normal.
It was a happy ending for Hannah and Remington who is now a true man, inside and out. The film ended when a boy saw a gay and said: “Bakla!…… Ganda J”.
This is a film that says “No to gender discrimination!”. Everyone deserves equality and respect, whatever they are in the society. A film full of laughter and reality as well.
