First off, do you know how VERY difficult it is to pull off a Horror/Comedy that is in any way decent. Not too campy, not too dumb, and actually with good stories, sharp writing, and excellent acting? Not to mention a GOOD ANTHOLOGY...?! That almost never happens, at least in my lowly and wretched opinion, not to this high of a level of competence.
I honestly found this movie very entertaining. AND, FWIW, I usually don't go for Horror/Comedies with the exception of course of true Classics like 'REANIMATOR', for example. But you know, this one really did come through and I genuinely found it quite entertaining. It had the rare balance of having clever (but not overdone) humour, combined with truly scary or horrifying parts. Personally, I would say that this film almost, ALMOST reaches the Classic level of say 'CREEPSHOW' Almost...
I truly have NO bloody idea why this movie has such a low rating. Like I say, to me I thought for the very demanding format it was conceived and executed in a manner that was indeed very sharp, clever, and truly scary at times.
I would say that if you do like good Horror/Comedies, ones that are a few steps above your usual dumb/campy ones, and if you don't mind an Anthology format, I honestly feel that many would indeed find this movie very funny and entertaining.
I stumbled upon the 2021 horror anthology "Brimstone Incorporated" by random luck. And of course I had to watch it, with it being a horror movie and all. I actually didn't know that it was an anthology before I started watching it.
Sure, the movie's cover was interesting, because it had that mid-1980s thing going on, and it being made out as a comic book cover of sorts, that definitely helped win me over.
Now, the stories told in this anthology were bland, if not actually bordering on being boring. And even the narrative that tied the stories together wasn't all that great. In fact, the narrative was just ludicrously generic. So yeah, not much of any enjoyment for a seasoned horror veteran such as myself here.
The production value of "Brimstone Incorporated" felt subpar, as if watching some film class project.
The acting in the different stories were ranging from adequate to wooden and questionable. So it was a little bit of everything here, and you could say that it was all over the place actually.
I am rating "Brimstone Incorporated" a generous three out of ten stars. I am sure that there is an audience out there for an anthology such as this; I just wasn't part of that audience. When I watch anthologies, I prefer to actually be, you know, entertained.
