The 4Bidden Fables

First off the acting is not stellar but it really does not matter as its the artistic element that overrides everything else in this horro-fable; filmed like some sort of demented dream sequence only Stephen King could have imagined in his worst nightmares.

There are a lot of words that can describe this - grotesque, absurd, bizarre, eerie, fanciful, fantastic, ludicrous, monstrous, odd, outlandish, preposterous, ridiculous, strange, surrealistic, whimsical, aberrant, antic, extreme, mad, flamboyant, gross, queer, weird, anomalous, abnormal, deformed, distorted, extravagant, freakish, grody, incongruous....

But i prefer Inventive, creative, artistic genius!

Prosthetic old school latex effects Stan Winston / Rob Bottin style - John Carpenter would be proud - If the wormboy does not get to you the electroboy will - pure artistic horror genius - truly nightmare of a damaged brain!!!

I think I just had my horror mind blown!!!

The acting was a bit unpolished but the stories were good and held my interest until the end. The special effects were GREAT! Amazing job on that. It really added a great deal.

I caught this on Amazon Prime. Very weird tales with interesting imagery. Nice to see something a bit different than the usual stuff coming out of Hollywood. I hope they make more like this.

The title already made me sceptical by using a number for a word - reminded me of imbecile online speak like "2bad4me" and alike. reading the reviews i decided to give it a shot.

now this flick will frustrate both extremes of horror aficionados: gorehounds will be mostly bored, and people rooting for gothic subtle horror will be disgusted. stories themselves aren't that bad, if maybe a bit too slow and calm, but offering 2 or 3 minor "wtf"-moments.

if i had to rate the stories for themselves, the last one would definitely win. depictions of hell are usually a tremendous risk even for high budget productions - just think of the CGI disaster in "Constantine" back then- , but the offered imagery doesn't have to hide. so if you are in the mood for 4 downtempo creeping flicks with some sickness here and there, go for it but don't expect too much
