User Reviews

Totally work a look if an artistic an intelligent approach to anthology horror works for you.

Interesting art piece if you like anthology types of horror. The director makes a point to give you the ability to interpet this movie the way you want, and delivers it with a sort of "Fellini meets Freddies Nightmares" attitude. If you need explanations to justify your viewing experiences, this probably isn't the type for you. He takes you on and interesting journey that ends as it begins with decent actors and a professional delivery. I'm certain and hopeful to see more from this director.
