The Telling

Maybe the horror has to take a second seat to hot babes. In fact, the greatest horror is what we didn't see during the first episode of this anthology.

This film was shot at the Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles, and stars Holly Madison ("The Girls Next Door", "Dancing With The Stars"); Nicole Zeoli, Christina Iannuzzi, and Ashley Noel (all also in "The Girls Next Door"); and Sara Jean Underwood (Playmate of the Year 2007).

The second episode was a little better, featuring the undead. The last was routine, but it set up the ending.

Any horror buff will guess what happens next, but it was still good.

I thought they were porn actresses on a side project, ala Andy Sidaris. Other reviewers inform us that these are Playboy bunnies. I thought Playboy disappeared, when the internet appeared. But that aside, it's a bad movie. I gave it three stars; because the women are beautiful. Seen on Tubi, the free streaming site.

In this horror anthology film, three girls pledge the most popular -- and cruelest -- sorority on campus. For their final task, they must tell the scariest story they know. Containing three distinct stories -- one featuring a murderous doll, one a has-been actress and her run in with a film crew of the undead and, finally, a hunt-and-kill fright-fest.

There is really nothing to say about this one. I do not know the history, but based on what I was able to determine, this was more or less an excuse to get Playboy models to appear in a movie. And, you know, I guess if that is all they wanted to do, it worked.

Now, if they wanted to be in a good movie, they failed. We have a very poor version of the Twilight Zone's "Living Doll" episode. There is a decent second segment but it is pulled off terribly. And after that... well, ugh.

Here it goes, after I heard about our local movie store was closing I decided to go and buy movies because they were 50% - 70% off the original price. This movie was one of the many movies I bought, I really didn't have much to do today so I watched it.....it sucked! I feel really bad to say that because I really like Bridget and Holly. I'm also a huge fan of "The Girls Next Door"and that's another reason why I picked this movie up. The acting was cheesy, the production was lame and the film quality was crappy! This is a movie that is going to never be played again and just sit in my movie cabinet. Save your money and brain cells.

What a waste of time this so called Horror/Thriller/Mystery was. The film is about some Mean Girls sorority sisters inviting some potential new innocent and shy pledges to each tell the stuck up holier than thou sorority sisters their scariest story. Of course the new pledges were also expected to bring gifts to the stuck up sorority sisters to influence them to invite them in to their stuck up sorority.

As each new pledge got their chance to tell the sorority sisters about their individual scariest encounter and as their scary story was re-enacted we the viewers were left wondering what the heck is their point?

There were three (3) pledges who each told their supposedly scariest story and as hard as I tried I found myself wandering off to my fridge and/or to search IMDb for something else to watch because this film had no redeeming value or interest.

I give the film a very poorly rated 2 out of 10 IMDb rating. I cannot recommend anyone waste their time watching this amateurish so called Horror/Thriller/Mystery film.
