Terror Tales

I watched a crazy amount of bad horror movies. This is bad. The acting is bad, it's low budget and has bad special effects. BUT I have seen a lot worse. There was something about this movie that made it more watchable than most bad movies. The stories were not terrible. They were actually quite creative and more interesting than I expected.

After reading the 10 star reviews ok here and some of the 'critic' (all of them are second rate horror vlogs that were sent free copies to review) the only thing I can think of is that not only were they given a free copy, but they either worked on, contributed to, or know someone involved in the production. Everything about this movie is just terrible. The camera work is bad and looks like it was filmed on an old camcorder. The audio is so bad and switches from white noise filled backgrounds to fairly clear but much louder audio from shot to shot. The editing is jarring and horribly done. People switch places and move about as though they shot a line, stepped aside to see how it turned out, and then tried to get the actors framed in the same place again for the next line. The acting is atrociously bad and the script is worse. The CGI is laughable at best. And the makeup effects are even worse. There is nothing worth watching here. I saw it for free on YouTube and it was still too expensive. 2 hours of the worst trash you will ever see; even if some of the overarching ideas are interesting, they are so poorly handled in every way you really can't tell. 0 stars. Negative stars. Just, please avoid this at all costs. Its an abomination to call this a film.

I wish i could have rated it lower. I love B movies and I love 80's horror. This was neither. It wasn't even in the same ballpark. The video rental was the best of the worse but whole movie waste of time. I always take.1 star ratings with a grain of salt. To each their own. I wish I would have listened this time. They were right! I get what it was trying to be, it just never quite made it. ☹

I usually love horror anthology films, which how I ended up getting duped into watching this dud. What a waste of time and money!

Apparently this features "homages" two a lot of 80s cult movies, but it was so shoddy and incompetent, I couldn't really recognize any references. I also didn't recognize any of the "stars" this movie claims to feature.

The whole thing was so amateur and sloppily put together, I felt like I was watching a bad student project. I wasn't able to understand a single featured story, this movie is impossible to follow. No idea why someone would waste so much time and resources to make something so awful.

A complete dud, should even count as a "real" movie.

A family travelling by auto has a blow out due to a board with nails being placed in their path by a psychopath. The following accident lands them captive to him. Michael, the husband, is secured in the front seat, while his wife and daughter are held in an attached cargo trailer. He is subjected to 3 macabre tales of terror that are indeed frightening. The first involves a successful female author who after having a baby, feels she has lost her edge to write, because of the new family addition. She proceeds to slowly poison the little boy causing him to become extremely ill. This is a tale of greed and self centered vanity. It's well done with moral overtones. The second tale is about a detective on the trail of a serial killer who is terrorizing a video store owner and his wife. The last is about an evil deity that possesses his victims.

The segments were very well produced and acted. There is a lot of special effects and great sets and locations. Overall it is quite entertaining and creative. Quite an undertaking with a large cast and loads of crew to pull it all off. Well done!
