If you are in love with horror - well some may have a bigger threshold and be forgiving in some respects. When it comes production values, to acting and to the overall sense a movie (or anthology in this case) has. This may be one of those - because there is clear love of the genre by the makers, but it also is quite clear that there are many flaws.

The stories are pretty straightforward but even within them there is a variety of quality. If you have seen a lot of horror (which is almost like a given to at least like this), you will know where these are going. So not much in the surprise department. For (some) horror lovers then

As an anthology, Sinister Visions is a pretty eclectic mix. The main novelty of the collection is that each film represents a different country. But an interesting connection is also that each film deals with the objectification, victimization, and ultimately power of women. In 'Succubus' its obvious the succubus is the strong dangerous female; 'My Undead Girlfriend' really builds on objectification (he uses her in order to impress her parents despite the fact she's a zombie and will likely eat them all), 'Mother Knows Best' borders on Norman Bates quality mommy issues, 'A Woman Scorned' is, again, pretty obvious – its an ex gets revenge on the current torture/punishment film; and 'Genital Genocide' goes the extra mile with blatant exploitation of everything in the mind of a sadistic serial killer. So though the films deal with different subject matter (succubus, zombies, etc) there is a thread that combines them other than the semi-innocuous title. Also the opportunity for sequels is endless. I do hope to see more volumes, from all over the world, in the near future.~ the Creepercast

sinister-visionsStars : David C Hayes and Kim Sonderholm. Anthology filmed in – Denmark, Sweden, US states of Ga. & Az. SUCCUBUS – Great look of a female Indiana Jones finding the ' wrong ' possessed relic and it turns her into this nigjht club – hopping winged/fanged creature with a taste for blood of men. Retro Homage to NOTLD – Very amusing experiments in a lab that go awry with zombies and doctors. HOLDCARE – caregiver appliance for handing your zombie at home. MY UNDEAD GIRLFRIEND – Probably the longest segment and well worth the character development. Very funny courtship of undead girlfriend and asking her normal parents for her hand in marriage and having to control her ravenous appetite for brains. MOTHER KNOWS BEST – Yikes,PSYCHO influenced 'Mother Issues' and a bevy of beauties not good enough for Madre. A WOMAN SCORNED – This begs for a sequel of what SHE would do next on her hurtful, insane journey . GENITAL GENOCIDE – Leave it to David C Hayes to do a tribute to the SCANNERS 'Blowing Up Head' iconic moment in only way Hayes knows how, With bathroom humor.Actually there is even a moment form NOES with Freddy Kreuger ' Meeting The Parents'.
