It started out as a copy of the movie V/H/S. Each story gets less interesting and goes more to thriller. The first 2 stories got the most horror but because of the time factor are poorly explained.Overall problem is build up takes to long.Scenes are to short and with out real reason.Less would have been better I think.It's a B-flick anthology horror.Not a very good one. Can't remember if the first one was like this?.However.I don't recommend this.A bit of a boring attempt.

Firstly, the reviewer who rated 1 star should be ashamed of themselves, that's absolutely ridiculous, and should be deleted. He seems to suggest that it's no good because he wasn't scared out of his mind, why does that make a good film good, a mild scare is fine for me thanks very much!I tuned in expecting be disappointed within minutes at the poor quality, storyline/ whatever, as with all other similar looking movies, but, something kept me going and I was soon hooked. I'm really difficult to please & don't really like 'small' films, I think I've been 'damaged' by big budget special effects & expect too much now, but this movie manages to pull it off, or should I say movies, as they're all totally indie films, sewn together with a VHS plot device.They're all short & to the point, so before you've even a chance of being bored you're on to the next one, and pretty much everyone leaves you wanting more.Only pass for me was 'Masochist' with the kids at the fairground.Stand out was the Spanish one at the end - Wow! Amazing feel & production values, this team is Hollywood ready, expect more great things from them.I liked this so much, I'm gonna watch again - unheard of ;-)

I wish there had been a real review of this movie out there before I paid money to rent this. There was absolutely nothing about this movie that approached frightening. possibly a child under 8 years of age would be scared.Please do not waste your money on this. It is not clever, scary, concise, funny or any other adjective you may want out of a horror flick. It borders on theft. I had only one thought when it was over: how do I get my money back?Be warned. Do not waste your time. Rent some older movie instead, you will be more startled by a good movie which you have already seen.

A collection of eight independently-produced Halloween-themed short films, with an overarching plot that these were left as a VHS tape on a young female horror fan's doorstep by a masked, knife-wielding stranger.Most of the stories are extremely short, in the 5-10 minute range, the longest being about 17 minutes. They often have little plot, rather being merely campfire-style, mysterious horrific occurrences with no real beginning, climax, or resolution.They are all, nevertheless, rather original, well-produced, and effectively gripping. The acting and effects are all quite satisfying and convincing. A couple even push the grim envelope, even by today's standards. One story takes the unusual route of being entirely in Spanish (with subtitles), whose inclusion in a primarily English-language movie was, I felt, an admirable risk.The only true weak point for me was the very end, where the framing plot was wrapped up a little too simply.Each short story, along with the framing plot, were independently produced by different writers, directors, and crews, and each one's credits are shown in sequence at the movie's end.
