    Stick With Your DVDs.
    Mind-numbing and migraine-inducing horror anthology involving several stories (all filmed via home movie cameras) wrapped around a small group of miscreants (themselves filmed on home movie cameras as well) who have been hired by an unknown character to steal a certain VHS tape. Naturally, all hell breaks loose quickly as the gang of thugs finds a dead body and a whole library of video tapes which they watch one by one. On the tapes are discombobulated tales involving the supernatural, wild behavior, dirty dealings, sexy women, and head-scratching images. Pure wreck of a feature which was created by no fewer than 10 directors (not a misprint) and a dozen screenwriters (once again, not a misprint). Pure late-night fare which has that "Blair Witch Project" feel to it. The movie wears out its welcome pretty quickly. Don't waste your time. Turkey (0 stars out of 5).
