Very Frightening Tales

Very Frightening Tales is a short horror anthology film. The film contains eight stories and runs slightly under one hour. The quality and the scariness of the stories vary from one story to the next. It also looks like many of the stories were filmed around 2020-2021, with one going as far back as 2017.

Some of the highlights of this anthology include a girl who tracked down who she believes to be her birth mother, and is met by her servant, played by Michael Pare (Eddie and the Cruisers). Things don't appear to go the way that the young woman hopes that they will.

Another story that I enjoyed was about a young country boy going out to the city to chase his dreams of becoming an actor. His Uber driver tries to convince the young man against it. The driver has been where the other man is before, so he's wise to what is really going on. This story features Joe Estevez.

The last story that I really enjoyed involves two young women receiving a tarot reading. Sally Strothers plays the seer, not sure if that's the correct term. There's a secret among the two friends and if the secret is not brought to light the consequences could be deadly for the one of them that does not confess.

Most of the other stories were fairly average, hence the 6/10 rating.
