I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

The film contains about 9 or so episodes from as short as 7 minutes, to a final episode that was about a half hour. It had to be divided into episodes at that length. The stories involved various aspect of the horror world, some with new modern twists involving gadgets, but pretty much the same stories we were used to watching aka "Twilight Zone" or "Creep Show." For seasoned viewers there won't be any twists or surprises. However a younger generation who never grew up watching the "classics" should find a wealth of enjoyment in these tales.The beginning of each tale includes a completely unnecessary mini plot spoiler introduction by Tom Holland. It adds nothing to the episode. It lacks the entertainment value of Creep Show and the insight of a Zone introduction. Its sole purpose is to be a Tom Holland ego fest. I found him to be the biggest negative aspect of the features...like Joe Jackson being in his own videos.Worth a view for even seasoned viewers, just don't expect any new twists to the twisted tales.Parental Guide: F-bombs. No sex or nudity. Minimal blood.

Don't get it twisted (excuse the pun), but this is nowhere near the best anthologies that are out there. But if you watch this as a series of shorts that probably were made for TV (didn't check, how and why Tom Holland produced these), you might actually be able to enjoy them. There is a plethora of great actors in this (just read the cast list and you'll be surprised), especially from the Horror genre.Some segments seem more than cheaply made and the acting might not be what you'd expect from some. Even the twists are sometimes very foreseeable. I've been accused before of being too kind and always trying to see positive aspects in movies. So through all the downfalls (some of which I've touched upon), I still think this can be fun - if you let it

I have loved anthologies for a long time and have seen lots but this was SO BAD! You can check my other reviews and see I have no issue with low budget movies and underground stuff so when I say I could not make it through this.....I got to the Bite segment and gave up. The Amber Benson segment was awful, the one with Danielle Harris and William Forsythe was okay and the Ray Wise one was good but the actors are all of a high calibre. No offense to Amber Benson's acting but it wasn't strong enough to save her segment.How the guy who made my beloved Childs Play and Fright Night could also be responsible for this unmitigated drivel I do not know.So sorry

The prop in the opening of boom shows that serious effort was made. Management and focus on the overall compilation seems to be less than deserved. I admit i wasn't compelled to give the shorts equal attention. "Bite" was my main interest. The acting particularly in this piece was very poor, but don't think the actors deserve the blame; or necessarily the director. Instead, probably some better storyboarding of the news sequences would have made the difference, so that the lead's lines were even executable. Having live actors interact with prerecorded bits is doable if the flow makes some sense, but I have a feeling there was last minute introduction of lines. The two elements, reporters and and leads, as written, looks down right impossible; if it was re-cut, or written this way, nothing an actor could do could fix it. A rough idea, complex like this, needs refinement, or else asking an an actor to attempt to interpret it is torturous; there's the real element of dread in "Bite". Its in the actors faces; in shock at being expected to carry the weak writing. I enjoyed the creativity in the rest of this assortment. I knew not to expect an expensive producyion. I like B moviesif the concepts are original & worthwhile. Some of this has that, but not most.Bottom line for me is that too much of the artistic execution is lacking and a producer who is tasked to ensure a basic finished product must know that elements of this work are in rough draft stage, not final writing, acting, or special fx takes. Apparently though these shorts were pulled together but were meant to stand on their own. But as a DVD it feels like something sewn together out of discarded items in the Munster family's Halloween closet, more oddity than integrated costume.
