Good concept, poorly executed.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

I like to write reviews of movies I really love or really hate and I just finished watching this movie......so....here......we..................go.the box: I've read other reviews where this was their favorite segment of the anthology and I cannot understand why, the story starts on the subway and a man carrying a red box sets next to a mom and her two kids, the boy ask to look into the box and after a while the man agrees, the boy looks inside the box and has an odd look on his face. The boy now refuses to eat, and soon he tells his sister what was in the box and she begins to also not eat, finally the boy tells his dad what was in the box and again the dad stops eating, soon the three of them starve to death and die and the last scenes is of the mother looking for the man with the red box on the subway....the story was not interesting and bored me to tears and for the live of me I still can't believe this was peoples favorite story. 0/10the birthday party: This story isn't even horror or good, a mom finds her husband dead so she drags him around weekend at Bernie style until she finally puts him in a panda suit and places him at the table of her daughters birthday, which brings up another interesting question...why does she have a black daughter...and why did she dress her up as a klansman? Anyway, this story has to many questions, why does she want to hide her husbands death? why did she put her husband at the table where her daughter will find him? why did I keep watching this horrible movie, why didn't I use the fast forward button....to many questions. 0/10the fall: This was the best story and the shortest, it's your standard monster/stalker story. a woman touches some paintings...turns into a monster...and kills her friends. this is the only segment worth watching.
3/10her only living son: I'm going to save you some time, her son is the anti Christ, it's just another devils son story. it takes you about five minutes to figure out this plot point. 2/10This stories are not interesting or worth your time, if you want an anthology movie I would suggest tales of Halloween, trick r treat, or the classic tales from the crypt. overall 2-10

This film is made up of four unconnected horror stories.The first segment is more mystery than horror, as there is something strange going on but it is not revealed. There is only one brief scene that is horrible, but it looks quite out of place with the rest of the story. The second segment is just comedy, I didn't find anything scary with it. The third segment is a slasher, so it is not my thing. The fourth one is the best, as it is suspenseful and scary.

I'am sorry to say there are no positives to be taken out from this movie. The story lines are lazy or makes no sense. Acting is below par. Sound effects are over used at an annoying rate (honestly there is a horrible sound effect every minute or so). Pointless galore of jump scares. Hope these directors will not direct more films and bore people to death. Take my word and avoid this movie at any cost. Thanks.

I watched this with a friend tonight for our October horror movie night and was quite impressed. It's pretty clever all the way through, doesn't fall into the trap of many horror anthologies of playing for laughs or going too heavy on the gore. There is some good gore in this, but not a lot and nothing gratuitous... it's in service to the story, not the goal of the story, if that makes sense. It also didn't strain at its budget and try to pull of FX that weren't really necessary to the stories... as it often does, this lack of visual spectacle ended up making each story more intimate and focused on the characters. The first segment was quite intriguing and I really liked how it resisted giving a simple/dumb explanation for what's going on. It sent my head to some odd places, thinking about food and our need to eat. My wasn't as pleased with it as I was, I think she wanted more exposition/explanation. I was surprised that it was based on a story by Jack Ketchum because it was less visceral and more cerebral than most of his stories... creepy and weird.The second segment was much more humorous, but just as sinister in its way... being as it's about the pressures put on women of a certain class of society. The scene at the end with all the children and their mothers spilling into the house... their clothes and costumes and hair... it was hilarious and horrific at the same time. Again, my friend didn't particularly care for that segment but I think she didn't see the horror in it. The third segment was the most overtly 'horror-movie' fare.It's about some campers who pick the wrong place to spend the night. Well done but nothing too surprising about it. It was my least favorite segment by far, but my friend liked it best. The fourth segment was very clever indeed. It's a sequel of a sort to a famous horror film of the 60s... though it also serves as an alternate ending to the film. I wonder how many people will pick up on its hints as to that provenance... and I'm not sure it matters. My friend wouldn't have picked up on it if I hadn't pointed it out to her. It's also the segment I'd most like to go on about... but that would be hard to do without massive spoilers. There wasn't a bad segment in this, IMO. The third one was a bit average, but still not bad. The animated segments between the stories were fun too... a bit like lighter-hearted Brothers Quay shorts.
