Dark, Deadly & Dreadful

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.

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.

Honestly, I was expecting very little from Dark, Deadly & Dreadful and sadly my expectations were not met. The film quality and set designs are the only real redeeming qualities of the film, but that's about it. Almost every story makes no sense (I still have no idea what anything meant in The Listing short), there are quite a bit of fodder scenes, and the acting is okay (just okay). Don't trust what the other reviewers are posting, because honestly, they were probably paid to write that. Do yourself a favor and give this one a pass.

These short stories, on the whole, are great. Kudos for all involved. I was expecting your normal Z grade poo and I'm so surprised at the quality!!!! My hands down favorite was "WeeJi". It took me by surprise and I couldn't stop laughing!

I'm a bit of a horror connoisseur, that being said, this is fun! Lots of short films, some hilarious, some genuinely creepy and all a very good time.
