User Reviews

Fun set of films

Drive-In Horrorshow is especially good if you are in a "mixed" (i.e. horror-fan + horror-adverse) relationship...The shorts are creative and accessible, and show a great sense of humor. The Closet and The Watcher are just plain fun. The Meat Man is a grown-up look at all the crazy horror rumours we'd spread around as kids - this one was my favorite. And then, Fall Apart was horror with a bit of a soul. Socially relevant and terribly foreboding and creepy, with enough gore and stuff too to keep the more horror-fan types happy.

Apparently (according to husband) there are lots of great uses of horror archetypes too, but as a newbie I just thought it was fun and entertaining!
