Featured review
No real stories
People at a party read different stories from a book, that we see portrayed on the screen. The problem is that all the stories would, in reality, have been rejected by amateur publishers, and gotten poor grades as a junior high writing assignment.
For example: Woman opens cookbook, we see her preparing her food. She cuts up a human (off screen) for meat, then for some bizarre reason serves an obviously overooked head to her excited guests instead of the meaty dinner we saw her preparing. People working at a site talk about a local legend of a killer scarecrow. The scarecrow shows up for the last 10 seconds and kills them offscreen. And, no, I'm not leaving anything out. That's all you can find in way of plot. It's a movie where there are uniquely no spoilers because there is no plot to spoil.
All the stories lack any suspense, character, motivation, anything. They're just plot points someone might use with the intention of later fleshing out, but plot points with zero creativity behind them. Just mere cliche. And, for those who care, there's not even any gore to make up for the lack of actual story.
I am a fan of short horror fiction, so I see zero blame for running time when it comes to the complete lack of storytelling. In fact, given how threadbare the "plots" are, each "story" runs far much longer than it should, with no redeeming qualities like good acting, visuals or dialogue.
