A nice little horror anthology that offers some interesting shorts, though it lacks a true standout. Each of the stories has an interesting enough twist or premise, and the directors paid attention to the presentation, but there's nothing here that baffles or surprises, and that's what makes anthologies interesting.
The only real problem I had with these shorts was the poor acting, which was distracting considering so many of the films relied so heavily on mood. Other than that I think horror fans will have a good time with this collection. There weren't any weak entries, the film is short enough and there are some memorable moments. Just nothing crazy.
