Jinxx Presents: The Devil's Vortex

This is a cool anthology! It has six segments. Two of them are awesome! One of the awesome ones is about a girls night out that goes dark. The other one is about a woman who has to make a horrible decision.

Three of them are great! One of the great ones is about a group of friends waiting for trick or treaters. Another is about a man who is slowly losing touch with reality, and is very artsy. The third one tells us about a young man down on his luck, and everything changed when he gets a tattoo.

The last one is good, but it just didn't grab me like the rest. It is about a boy and his familiar. What could possibly go wrong?

The music and sound adds to the atmosphere of each segment. The practical effects, makeup and masks were well done.

Overall, I think it is definitely worth a watch!

I missed out on the Kickstarter for the Haunted House movie from Black Veil Brides guitarist Jinxx, and, hearing how it is based on his true story of growing up in a haunted house in Iowa, I wish I had heard of it and that it got funded. This movie was a direct result of that attempt and I am glad it is out there! Jinxx narrates 6 shorts tied together by a haunted house near on of the 7 Spiritual Vortexes in Ojai, CA. All of the shorts are solid, and they definitely ramp up as the powers that be get stronger!! Great special effects and make up in each short, and Gordon does what he does best in the film, which is play a great monster! Score is amazing, and Jinxx does the theme song! I definitely recommend this, and watch without distraction to get all of the little details and social commentary! Now I hope we do get to see Inhabitant someday soon, as a film, novel, or even Graphic Novel!

Really enjoyed the stories of this anthology. Each one built up the anticipation of the next. The CGI in this was very good considering it's an indie. My favorite stories were as follows: 3,5,2,4,6,1. The movie gave me a lynchian vibe. Dark, ominous, and surrealist mood. It also reminded me of VHS which I love. The music score was perfect for each story. You didn't know what to expect after each story which was fantastic. Despite the stories being different it managed to keep the theme of the movie going. I am hoping there will be future ones made and this becomes an anthology franchise. Kudos to all who worked on it.

A whole boatload of crazy. Three of the short films are very good and made me want more out of the stories. The FX and make up is nice and the sound back track is well placed. Not a huge fan of the narration but luckily it's short. Some silly one-liners and a lot of WTF?! I wish there was more information around the whisper demon but well placed and the glue that ties all the stories together. Gives a sleep paralysis demon feel for sure. I'm assuming the house being talked about in narration is the house in all the films but it doesn't really put it all together for you. Definitely worth a watch! Hoping for a sequel or franchise!

This was a pretty fun horror anthology. A couple of the segments are truly great. I would call the final segment real art. The music and sound effects are very atmospheric and well done. I also really appreciated the practical effects. There is really only one segment I didn't like overall. I fault the story in that segment as being too unoriginal and expected. However, the overall movie was great to watch, mostly taking some familiar horror tropes and adding a unique take to them. Any horror movie fan would enjoy this one for sure. I also think there is something here for every horror fan, no matter what subgenres you are into. So, a fun time!
