Directed and written by Steve Sessions (Contagio), Aberrations was made for "the cost of an average funeral." It's all based around a connecting story where horror novelist Claire Huston (Dawn Duvurger) uses a Ouija board - adding this to my Letterboxd list - to steal ideas from beyond the veil of the choir invisible from a dead master of terror. That means we get four stories, like Alice (Mona Duvera) dealing with a ventriloquist doll, Bobby (Amber Peach) being watched, a killer (Eric Spudic) geocaching to kill someone (Krystal Stevenson Akin) and grave robbers (Denman Powers, Kirk Jordan) bringing a man (J. C. Pennylegion) his dead wife.
The one skeleton at the end of the trailer looks just like one from Creepshow and that seems intentional. I also like that when it says "four tales of the macabre," it's over one of the actresses' rear ends in a shower and that proves that what sells a horror movie will never change.
This got released before the current run of films like this that are not really connected and are just shorts all thrown together, so at least there's something making these stories work. This has been seen by hardly anyone on IMDB or Letterboxd, so maybe that will change.
