This is a really fun anthology of scary stories. Lots of dead bodies, blood, creatures in the basement and old school things going bump in the night. Unlike the new horror films that are more like torture tales, this has fun - and downright scary - elements that I've always loved in horror: there's a monster story, a killer's-coming-to-get-you-how do-you-run-away? tale, a super natural thriller and more (sorry for being vague, I don't want to give away the plots). The tales are very well told with some superb acting, a soundtrack that gives you all the right creeps and jolts, and some nice flashes of blood and gore.

This flick really is lots of fun. Sure, it's a micro-budget film, but the dialog is all kinds of clever and the story really does have some jolts in it. Wisely, director Jim Haggerty never tries to do more than he has the means to film, so you don't see cheap and tacky special effects. It all works.

The movie stars Phil Lewis of the band LA Guns who clearly has been hiding some acting skills. Across the board the acting is very good and the women - most of whom get naked - are hot.

If you like your horror with a nice dash of humor, this is a film for you.
