    All in the eyes of the beholder. Not exactly spine tingling; lackluster may be the right word. But good intentions to spotlight up and coming female directors like Roxanne Benjamin, Annie Clark, Jovanka Vuckovic and Karyn Kusama. Four short horror tales all featuring female leads tippy toeing into the darker side of the female imagination. My favorite segment is "The Birthday Party" starring the fetching Melanie Lynskey and featuring Lindsay Burdge. There is also "Her Only Living Son" featuring Christina Kirk and Lisa Renee Pitts. Another segment called "Don't Fall" stars Angela Trimbur and Breeda Wool. The opening tale is titled "The Box" and stars Natalie Brown and Peyton Kennedy. I don't want to imply this collection is meant to be horror for the intelligent; but let's say intended for a viewer with varied life experiences. Nothing really shocking here, but tapping individual whimsy of the darker kind.
