nice movie

Where to start? Right from the first minute it was clear this was going to be awful. The acting was so dire it was embarrassing to watch. In fact right at the beginning, when A guy is in the bookshop asking for a copy of "Acting For Dummies" I thought it was going to evolve into a joke, as the acting was so wooden you could have sawed it in half. But no, this was real. Bad acting, bad dialogue, lame stories, a must watch for how not to make a movie.

This is an Indie film, and I watch a lot of them. IT'S far above the quality of most indie films. At first I was taken back to my childhood as it reminded me of Amazing Stories. But that quickly ended when the violent images of the second story came to screen. This is a collection of stories from folk takes to modern day internet Horrors. The individual stories are great, and I would recommend this to other indie thriller fans.

A great independent film that interestingly handles suspense. The story unfolds in a very fresh way that keeps you attentive from start to finish. I highly recommend it!

I'm glad I stumbled upon this movie. This was a very fun watch, great anthology movie. Very entertaining, it was just what I needed after a busy day to help me unwind. Great job to all the cast and crew.

I think this film suffers too much from trying to cover too many stories. I get that the book is meant to be collection of stories, but it doesn't work that well. Nothing is super original either. But even with the stories being short, they managed to have big plot holes. It does get bonus points for having a story so dumb, that saying a phrase in a mirror will make your college professor appear, to murder you with no apparent motive. Then the cops try the same, one even shoot at the guy in the mirror, after seeing their dead colleague. The best part is, that it kind of actually works for her.

I loved it from the opening scene and it never got boring. Each segment knew exactly what it was about and they were all executed with style. It's a series of stories tied together by a narrative set in the opening scene. Some of the stories are just a new take on an old trope, but they always pulled me in, and most of them are pretty unique, bringing a new twist and a new direction. It's campy and self-consciously cheesy (at least, some segments are), but everybody commits to their characters and they all knock it out of the park. It's really fun and often surprising.

This movie consists of an anthology of short horror stories based on a book that's of course cursed and should not be read. Yet someone reads it. So we go through different chapters of this book, one darker than the other. Some of these seem an homage to Tales from the Crypt, which is a good thing in my opinion. Some are gory, others more supernatural and they all have a twist in the end. If you are a fan of the genre, you'll enjoy this one.

The acting is not very good at all. Directing seems decent. The shop owner was slightly out of focus which set the tone on how it was gonna be. Then the editing on the b/w story-- bottom of title was cut off. It's like they hired someone off Fiverr.
