Dark, Deadly & Dreadful

It's perfect to put on if your doing something else and want something on in the background that you're not following. Otherwise, it's totally awful.

I love watching indie, low-budget films and you never really know what you are going to get.

The problem with this movie is that this is a collection rather than one feature, so it's difficult to rate it. Some are really good, and some not so good, but none of the films are terrible or unwatchable.

There is an interesting mix of obviously amateur and low-budget films, and each has it's merits and shortcomings, whether it is lack of attention to technical detail (such as sound - which is the bane of viewers of amateur productions). a bit of ham or amateur acting, or other niggles. Many can be forgiven, and what may seem as an 'oh dear' at the beginning of one of the films turns out to be a good creative decision - so give them a chance.

I certainly wouldn't give the collection a high rating as some reviews have - which are obviously false, or friends and family etc. but it is worth the middle ground, even though some films would rate higher on their own, and some a little worse.

Overall, not bad, but don't expect perfection in movie making.

THIS IS A WINNER AND AN EXCELLENT WATCH! Smart, Imaginative and Great Fun! An anthology of films, each conceived and presented by various filmmakers in uniquely different ways....Satirical to humorous to downright frightening. Terrific journey... similar to the feeling one gets when presented with a group of wrapped gifts..."what's inside and what's next?" Well written, well produced and directed and so creative! What's a real horror? Watching films, knowing I am being dragged through mopish filler material. Not so here...this one is a gem!

I think I'll just place this one at an even 5. Considering that I'm sure they didn't have a huge budget to blow on this thing, I don't think it's that bad. It could have been a lot worse and I've seen a lot worse. I personally love horror anthologies with a series of short films like this. Definitely not the best one I've seen and I don't see myself coming back to it, but it wasn't really terrible. I think it's worth one watch to horror fans.

Except for the last 40 minutes, this is typical anthology fare. Not great acting, writing or filming. With exception of the mildly amusing Tampoon. However, in the last 40 min. we are treated to Room 731. Truly frightening thanks to the performances of Yoojung Kim and Tim Kang. Also, we get Weeji. A fun little palate cleanser. And finally, a breakout performance by Heather Morris in The Cleansing Hour. Worth the time to check out in under an hour.
