Three short stories told into a feature-length grindhouse showing complete with trailers and intermissions.
The Good Stor(ies): Phobia-Worried about their son, a couple turns to whatever means possible in order to cure his crippling fear of something being in the cellar of the house. Attempting to utilize a radical therapy treatment to help cure him, they realize too later there was a legitimate reason for his fears. This one was pretty enjoyable if somewhat odd for a starting segment. The main starting point to be had here, with the crippling phobia and the talk between the psychiatrist and the parents, gives this a nice entry point to explain what's going on and the cruel reversal of fate plays into the twist rather nicely, being exceptionally creepy. It's slow-burn pace, though, is a bit odd to start this effort off.
Back Road-Stranded on the side of the road, a couple out on a date are forced to take a ride with a stranger who offers to take them back to his house for help, only to capture them instead. Intending to use the two for food, a sudden twist forces the cannibal family into a deadly fight to survive. Overall, this was a great way to end this anthology. The setup here with the twist involving the family they run into is fairly obvious and spotted easily yet there are several other strong and surprising twists at work here that make this intriguing and surprising. The action here that springs forth from that twist is really enjoyable and provide this with plenty of fun alongside some time gore in the kills even though this does suffer from way too much shaking camerawork that renders the action somewhat difficult to tell at times. However, that's all that holds this one back.
The Bad Stor(ies): Room for Rent-Desperate to fill a vacant room, a woman shows a friend of a friend the extra space available only to be abducted and taken to the basement. Realizing she's in the clutches of a deranged serial killer, she is subjected to a more grisly fate than she ever expected. This wasn't too bad of a segment. The second segment is built entirely around the twist with the identities which is all this has going for it which may or may not be detrimental here. The twist can be spotted easily and can overcome the gore present as well, but overall this was far too obvious and familiar to mean much of anything.
