5/10
An uneven horror anthology with some worthwhile elements and its fair share of misses
29 August 2023
Nightmare Radio: The Night Stalker (2023) is a movie that I recently watched on Prime. The storyline follows a horror radio-show host that has callers dial-in and tells her true horror stories they have experienced. When one of the stories involve her, she's sucked into the tale whether she wants to be or not...

This movie is codirected by six different directors who create different segments and stars Agustin Olcese (What the Water Left Behind: Scars), Paula Brasca (Focus), Pooya Mohseni (Remote), Michael Lorz (Gotham) and Nancy Nagrant (Delivery Man).

This was actually a pretty good concept for a horror anthology and the premise is set up pretty well. Like most horror anthologies some episodes are better than others. There's good background music to create intensity. The first and last segments were the best to me. I enjoyed the fox storyline and the ultimate radio show host plot. Unfortunately, the hospital CGI used in that segment was disappointing and "The Shining" moment with the ax was a bit cliche. There's some thing in here to like and some sequences that fall flat.

Overall, this is an uneven horror anthology with some worthwhile elements and its fair share of misses. I would score this a 5/10 and only recommend it to diehard horror fans.
