For We Are Many

Lately I've been forcing myself to go into movies with absolutely zero expectations. This view surprisingly has paid off on more than one occasion. With such a rich texture of cinematic styles from the four corners there is something in this film for everyone - even if they don't enjoy every segment, there is bound to be one that appeals to their particular sensibilities (or lack thereof). I've never been a fan of demonic material as most people seldom understand its roots or real-world implications. But biblical inaccuracies aside, it is still a thrill a minute romp that doesn't let up from the opening credits to the final chord. Definitely deserves better than its score, which is weird because most of the users reviews are pretty good.

Anthologies as normally a hit or a miss with me. Sometimes the stories are a mixed bag of good and bad, and in For We Are Many, there's not really a bad one in the bunch. I guess it all depends on your taste, and what you're looking for in an anthology. I really enjoyed it. I'm a sucker for practical effects in movies and this is filled with them. It's an eight out of ten from me.

The scariest thing about this anthology is that anyone would think it worth presenting to fans of horror. So what's so bad about it? I'm glad you asked. The writing is bad,, the effects are bad, the acting is bad, the direction is bad. All of it is bad, bad, bad. Not a single decent segment in the whole film and I persevered until the bitter end thinking there must surely be something worthwhile. There isn't. Seriously you could go on Youtube right now and find real quality horror, a thousand times superior to this rubbish.

Being a collection of works from many varied filmmakers gives us a film with many varied styles; most work for me, few do not... short stories often feel like someone just clipped the climax of a feature length film and showed me just that part, which feels unfulfilling... there are some, more than half of these, that I would love to see fleshed out into a full length film... some of the chapters go by very quick too; like the demon boys eating the homeless guy, I don't even think it was 2 or 3 minutes... many have gore and blood, few have jump scares, a couple are outright unnerving; there's a ghostly moan in one (no spoilers) that I could have gone all my life without hearing, but it's in my nightmares now...

These would be just a taste of what the filmmakers can do, and it is worth watching...

This is the worst collection of crap ever put together. Calling it horror is laughable, it's just horrible.
