Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

well what a waste of time? none of the stories went anywhere ,just seemed like random workings of peoples minds no real story ,no outcome no point,all very incoherent. it seemed as though they didn't have enough time to tell the story? so they crammed or edited it into the time slot they had, which in my opinion of all the stories they didn't make any sense or worth while .the only thing that some had is gore in them and some sense of peril . really its like telling someone half the story with the good bits in and leaving out any plot or reason why? well dint find anything good in this feature 2 * for some gore and thats it

The basis if you will; the Heart & Soul of Mr. Eryams is based in the dynamics of Poetry. Namely, the Existential writers of our time and also, the Romantics. Through the dissection and or structure of a Poem, from what follows, in the course of digesting its tone or vernacular, is in essence a Lyric. Perusing a sentence of cruelty expelled by one or another, yet one who comes to be,through the course of life, is at times quite limited. Banished text comes from a place of being, yet to be seen. The availability to whom extends oneself from an earnestness sense is well qualified. A means of instituting a deliverance: is intended well for what is to come. The intentions of creation, held solidly and pure- bear fruition to the laborers whom choose to be witness. From what was once seen will be seen again.

The Fangoria Blood Drive definitely has some talented filmmakers on it. I am a huge horror fan and am always looking to find the next Evil Dead or Dead Alive. So I rented this compilation at Blockbuster expecting to hate it after seeing Rob Zombie's stamp of approval. But the first short blew me away! The Hitch was creepy with some hilarious dark humor. It had great twists and a great payoff, albeit a super bloody one. But the problem is after that short, the others fall flat. A Man and his Finger was too long and too silly for my tastes. Inside was really good, very dream like. It's the most psychologically scary one on the disk. That guy will be good once he gets a more linear, cohesive story. Shadows of the Dead was good for us Romero fans, great mood. I just wished there was more dialogue in it. The rest were forgettable. Mr. Eryams looked like a porn movie and Song of The Dead made me feel embarrassed for the filmmaker. While The Hitch isn't terribly scary, it's a spooky little diddy and worth the look. It's the only one I went back and watched again with my friends. I see a Raimi or Peter Jackson coming out of this one.

For fans of second rate horror, this one isn't bad. Some shorts were actually pretty inspired, esp the Song Of The Dead which I'm sure will delight many fans of zombie films. A Man and His Finger - in addition to sparking endless juvenile conversation for most fans likely to rent/buy this film - was equally original and entertaining. Inside, Mr. Eryams and Disturbances were my favorites with . The opener, The Hitcher, was probably my least favorite and pretty unoriginal though I watched it twice before returning the DVD. My suspicion is that most film makers included here are just hoping to get some notice so they can attempt something with an actual budget! Overall, I'd be most likely to put my money on Patrick Rea, the maker of Disturbances (who also did A Man and His Finger) as the maker most likely to make profitable films.For fans of cheesy horror, I'd give it a 6. For folks that think the first Friday the 13th was really horrible film-making, zero probably isn't low enough. The interviews with Stan Winston and esp Clive Barker alone are probably well worth it to most horror fans.
