This all-female horror anthology features four dark tales from four fiercely talented women.
A project that I'm glad got put together, but that still has the faults typical of anthology horror. _Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole._
Segment 1 is rather disturbing, and not knowing what's going on must be devastating. The feeling of dread and unease are eloquently achieved, beyond measure. Segment 2 feels charming, and yet something is amiss, and it just kinda seems off. Oh, my things have certainly gotten crazy out of hand now. How will the next moments be dealt with. The trauma our lead character must deal with as well as put on a happy face is beautifully done. Segment 3 is a simple hike with friends. How can things go wrong. Whoa, things have gotten kinda weird and unpredictable, to say the least. This is way beyond a friendly environment our poor souls have wandered into real dread and danger. Segment 4 is just a simple family right, well maybe things aren't as pleasant as they appear. Our poor lead character is living in turmoil, and yet her demeanor is cool and calm as well as quite reserved. There is something not quite right in this home. There may possibly be something evil evolving in the lives of all who have intertwined lives.
The film contains five stories set on desolate stretches of a desert highway. Two men on the run from their past, a band on its way to a gig, a man struggling to get home, a brother in search of his long-lost sister and a family on vacation are forced to confront their worst fears and darkest secrets in these interwoven tales.
A journey into uncharted and forbidden territory through three tales tangled in space and time.
Five train passengers are joined by a mysterious fortuneteller who offers to read Tarot. A quintet of stories unfold: an architect returns to his ancestral home to find a vengeful werewolf; a doctor suspects his new wife is a vampire; an intelligent vine takes over a house; a jazz musician plagiarises music from a voodoo ceremony; and a pompous art critic is pursued by a disembodied hand.
A series of down-on-their-luck individuals enter the decrepit and spine-chilling Rialto theater, only to have their deepest and darkest fears brought to life on the silver screen by The Projectionist – a mysterious, ghostly figure who holds the nightmarish futures of all who attend his screenings.
Milton, a college dropout, was only supposed to cook meth for one day. Broken out of rehab by a brash young woman and her trigger-happy ("ex") boyfriend and driven to a remote cabin the woods, Milton finds himself drawn into a dangerous love triangle gone haywire. The couple's deadpan half-truths spin around Milton like a song on repeat. They seem to read him like an open book, until a mysterious message opens his eyes to his cursed existence. With unlimited ammunition, any hunting tool they could desire, and an ever-growing body count, for what did Milton really sign up?
