Featured reviews
As with most horror anthologies, this one is a mixed bag of good, decent, and disappointing
Unfortunately, a lot of the shorts were excellent premises, ruined by bad acting and delivery.
Special shoutouts to The Smiling Woman, Shedim, Alone With Death, and Mystery Box. These were all done pretty well in my opinion, and are the best in the movie.

Let me quote before I get started: "One of the scariest horror anthologies inspired by a series of nightmares and brought into existence by the darkest mind in the YouTube sphere." Yep, that's what someone (I'm betting the "darkest mind" who brought it into existence) wrote about this what ever this is supposed to be. Reminded me of a term I learned long, long ago: hyperbole (It means way exaggerated for those who have taken English, during the last three decades in US schools). Story number one: female sees a very unrealistic female. Story two: female sees a very unrealistic female. Story three: geeky male sees a very unrealistic female. (I guess this one was "different".) All three were in their homes. I guess unrealistic females like to go around to different houses. I figured that the rest of the movie would followed the same route, so here I am rating this piece of hyperbole. LOL At least make it funny!
There's something about low-budget films that give me a tickle, and this one is no different.
Anyone can get the gist of the story by the summary alone. If you don't understand, it's essentially a movie about different characters in different stories that have no overall impact towards the end other than their own "ending," if you can say that.
Some of them are incredibly short, like five minutes of screen time, other times the director gives you a gift in which the story lasts as long as ten minutes. Suburb. I for sure thought these were all student films from a class where the prompt was "make a horror movie with a budget of five dollars," and off these little students went and made some fantastic performances such as "can you uncover your chi-chis?" No joke, I had an absolute laughing fit when I heard this line said, not once, but twice!
I would give it ten stars if there was at least some conclusion to most of these shorts, however, many of them end in a rather unsatisfying or ambiguous end that makes no sense.
If you like bad horror movies (and let's be honest, there is no shortage of them) give this one a watch. It's so mind-boggling dumb it's hard not to just enjoy the bad effects, the bad makeup, and let's not forget, the bad acting. A true classic amongst men.
I wouldn't watch it again unless I was torturing a few more friends of mine, but it can certainly kill a few hours if you're truly that bored with yourself in these trying times. Grab some popcorn, a few snacks (and maybe a couple of shots), and you can have a fantastic, forgettable night of nothing but the looming question of "chi-chis."

Just a bunch of random stories and none are scary and none make any sense. Do not waste your time.
Had to turn this rubbish off after 20 minutes & I can usually sit through ANYTHING.
I've seen a better makeup job by a toddler who broke into their mum's makeup bag. I could forgive the awful effects if it made up for it with plot or decent acting but this film failed on all counts.
