A Night of Horror: Nightmare Radio

This is not a 10 star movie. This is a 4. A few average stories, a few bad ones.

The best is the Russian subtitled one. Luck perhaps as they probably threw in a foreign language one for diversity. The rest are at most average. I'm not gonna review each segment I only am leaving a review so someone doesn't watch this expecting 10 stars.

The radio studio segments were not too good, not so much the acting but the inane writing. The whole radio studio segment is a borrowed adaptation I saw in one of many other horror anthology movies or shows but I couldn't place where, I spent more time trying to figure out where I saw it used before than caring about the bad stories.

The old music they use is by far the best thing in this movie.

I totally understand if someone is not really on board with a film and sees a high rating that they immediately go the exact opposite route (or vice versa if you think a rating is way too low and you just plain dug a movie). But as I stated above there is a middle ground. And with an anthology movie you most likely have a mixture of stories - some will grip and some won't.

In some instances you might be love everything or hate everything of course, but if you remain open minded, you probably will select the stories/things you liked and the ones you didn't. And while life is probably not a box of chocolate (man that sugar rush would be quite something wouldn't it?), you can be assured that you will get a mixture of things. So while the quality may vary (I especially liked the spanish language one here to give one example, although even that had some minor things I disliked), this overall is more than a decent effort! If you are into horror short stories/anthologies that is

7.1 avg rating upon viewing. This movie will avg out to be a 4.2 - 4.4, and thats generous.

Hard to rate this anthology anything than middle 5/10. Its not bad, its competently made but, at least for me, non of the stories stand out much. Comparing to for example some V/H/S episodes that haunts me to this day, this was rather forgettable experience. Still decent ride for avid horror fan.

This movie wasn't horrible but it wasn't good either. The radio host character was absolutely abysmal. He tried so hard to be scary and suspenseful but came across as a piece of cardboard.

I only lasted 30 minutes and 2 stories into the movie. The 1st was completely nonsensical, boring. and not even remotely scary. The 2nd tried to have a punch but fell completely flat. It was a complete and utter snooze fest waiting for the completely anticlimactic ending.

I've seen up voting before but I'm surprised to see 800 possible fake accounts just to up vote this movie. Both of the written reviews are completely fake and you can always tell because they're so ridiculously over the top about how much they love the movie and then you watch it and realize there's no way that any real person could have thought that about THIS movie. In pretty sure they just cut and paste them from real movie review websites, made for different movies.

Imdb seriously needs to solve this problem.
