Contos Arrepiantes

I love a good horror, especially short horror stories.

I was a fan of the Creepshow films, back in the day.

I watch a lot of ghost stories at Christmas, so I was in the mood for some horror.

I won't go too much into detail as I wouldn't want to spoil it but each story is a different tale.

I thought the stories were original, quite creepy in parts and the acting was good, for the most part.

I worked out the ending pretty quickly, which was a little disappointing, but I still enjoyed the movie overall.

The CGI wasn't epic but it wasn't that bad either.

I'd probably buy this to add to my horror collection.

Quite frankly, this movie sucked. The stories being told by the characters were nothing more than lazy montages of horror cliches with no ties to the plot. The "twist" (I hesitate to even call it a twist) was so obvious and bad that we predicted it in the first ten minutes if the movie. Throw in terrible acting, irritating characters, a bland climax, and a dash of low effort jumpscares, and you can get a good idea of the experience. Save yourself six dollars and ninety minutes and just stare at a wall, it'll be more fun.

Honestly, I'm a sucker for bad B rated horror movies. I love anthology horror and I felt like once we got to the authors stories that's when the film really started to get good.

The beginning was definitely a little slow and it took some time to get into.

Acting was okay, nothing to rave about. I'd have to say this was a really fun watch and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I would give this a 6/10 for sure. I'm not a picky horror movie critic and honestly want to just enjoy a good creepy film.

Would recommend to anyone who feels the same way.

I would suggest watching it in the dark and have some fun!

Well to say right off the bat I really don't understand the bad ratings this movie has . I definitely could understand some of the other reviews that went as low as a say a five, but anything lower than that to me anyways felt a tad dramatic. But we all have our preferences for film enjoyment. Anyways, overall of course there was nothing outstanding here. And yes the plot twist can be seen a mile away but I did actually enjoy most of the stories in here. I am also myself starting to appreciate more casual and cheesy viewings so there's that. As a whole it's a simple, fine and if nothing else an atmospheric anthology.

This is a little horror anthology movie with stories suffering from being way too unoriginal, plot paper thin, acting unconvincing and production worth two shoestrings.

However - each segment has one or two neat tricks up its sleeve which make the whole show quite watchable. So low-budget or not - this movie is at least not boring.
