Storyline

A collection of short stories. In one a woman who leaves her house late at night to drive to the store while a killer is loose encounters some problems. In the second an arcade whiz kid's obsession with a game leads to deadly consequences. In the third a small town priest loses his faith and decides to leave town, but in the desert is stalked by a mysterious black pick-up truck. In the final story, a family's problem with a rat is larger than they think. Written by Parca Mortem <icy_shadow@rocketmail.com>

Goofs

When Father MacLeod is saying the funeral Mass for the slain child, the Latin he uses is completely random. For example, during the ablutions (where he is washing his fingers presumably prior to the consecration) he is saying the "Hail Mary", which is not part of the Mass liturgy at all. Also, if the action is contemporary (as the cars being used suggest), the Mass would almost certainly be in the vernacular (i.e. either English or Spanish). See more »

Disappointing, but you could do worse.
1 April 2002 | by See all my reviews

This horror anthology offers nothing new or anything to separate from the other countless anthologies. The first story is just an urban legend that offers no surprise whatsoever. The second about a kid who becomes obsessed with beating a video game is pretty good, but the ending was so predictable. The third is the worst of the bunch, with a priest being chased by a demonic car for no apparant reason. The fourth was also pretty bad. It is not that bad, but there is no reason to rent it over other horror movies that offer much more!
