Neat Compact Horror Anthology Series

[tiskec · 7/10 · 25 November 2022]

I began watching the series not expecting much out of it, although I got a lot more than I thought. The series is a fast paced telling of multiple (extremely) short horror films, all with different directors.

While watching this series I've seen episodes that contained elements such as hauntings, ghosts of loved ones reliving their tragedies, possessions, and just flat out gore. The show gives you a variety of bite sized horror episodes that can be enjoyed.

The episodes within the series are very enjoyable. They're NOT so low budget that they're painful to watch like you would get out of most tv-series related to short horror anthologies. I actually found them quite enjoyable.

The series contains horror shorts that fall into all areas of the spectrum. An imagination never has any limits. I would recommend taking a look at the series.

Covering All the Bases

[genowhirl · 7/10 · 16 December 2022]

This series really covers all of the bases in terms of types of horror it will tap into.

That said, the deliveries can be a bit all over the place, with some stories really nailing it for the most part, ultimately creating great immersive experiences, while others end up being so terrible that you can't tell if they were simply designed that way for comedic effect.

Some are on the high end with well crafted scares, sustained tension, polished effects, incredibly creative ideas, good acting, good lighting and sound design, and more. . . . you know, for low-budget films.

Others are campy, low-budget buffoonery containing the usual B-Movie horror tropes: bad acting, bad lighting and sound design, little to no direction, poor ideas, sucky effects, and a general lack of understanding of horror in general.

Mixed into the bag are some shorts that deliver more mystery. Others deliver comedy. Others still are filled with great creativity and artistic flare more than anything else (looking at you Mannequins).

I'd say 80% of the shorts are sure to pique your interest for one reason or another, and will scratch some kind of itch. The other 20% are pure garbage that you may or may not find value in, dependent purely upon how much you enjoy low budget films.

At the least: Good for many chill nights.
