It is not scary, nor funny, is just dull and simply stupid, basically all the segments seem amateurish at best, seriously, i have seen better works from film students than most of the shorts in this piece of garbage. Two stars out of ten, and that is just because of the good gore in one of the segments.As a Mexican I apologize to the international horror community for this embarrassment .Please, do yourself a favor and skip this one.
... View MoreI love anthologies, but this one is just awful. A few shorts are okay, but nothing really blew me away. Of course, some of the shorts are so terrible that I contemplated turning the whole thing off. Spoilers below.The worst of the bunch, for me, is ""La Cosa mas Preciada/The Most Precious Thing". It's cheesy, stupid, and worst of all has some weird crap nobody wants to see in a so-called rated 'R' film. Don't watch this anthology with your parents, children (no matter what age), or really anyone, honestly. This particular short literally has close- up shots of "aluxes" (troll/imp/whatever) penis. Yes, really. The whole short was cliché, couldn't pick a genre, and just left me with a bad taste in my mouth. My favorite short was "Jaral de Berrios". The cinematography here was really gorgeous, and there were some neat effects. However, it was so short that it didn't really explain anything or go into enough detail to make a big impact on the viewer. Overall, this anthology is really weak, and I can't recommend it. Give it a pass in favor of better options.
... View More"The Omen" is a horror movie. "Bram Stoker's Dracula" is a horror movie. This.. Is not. This is a pile of trash. There's no suspense in the air, it's just bad acting, bad directing, bad cinematography, and there's literally no plot.I kept waiting for it to at least get tolerable. I was bored and annoyed, but when I saw a child being abused, I was done. The directors are clearly sick and need a mental health screening. Again, there's horror films (which I love), and this semi-snuff film trash is not one. The only people who would enjoy this plot less piece of crap are muderers, rapists, and other general sickos. I also don't mind subtitles. I have watched several great foreign films. Do not watch this unless you want to be annoyed at the very least, or absolutely disgusted at the worst. If this film was matter, I'd use it to line a cat litter box.
... View MoreHere are seven horror shorts that lack horror, premise, dialogue, even sound at times. The whole collection is completely uninspired, the stories are poorly developed and executed.While photography may rescue part of some of these shorts, some just come short of everything, just like high school projects. Harsh? Maybe. True? Completely. Take for instance "La Cosa Más Preciada (The Most Precious Thing), the acting is bad, the dialogues are hands down some of the worst I've ever heard in cinema history, the whole thing was given an instagram-like "vintage" filter. This one in particular is preposterous. The rest of the shorts, whilst more professional, are still pretty bad and absurd, there is no heart to be found. If the project was done by amateur kids, then fine, I'd give it 4 stars, but these are - self?- deemed- directors.Also, the only Mexican thing on this are the assets (directors, actors, writers, producers, settings), there are no real legends or myths in here, just perhaps loosely 'inspired from'.My conclusion is that a couple of Mexican rejects from 'ABC's of Death' decided to take matters in their own hands... disaster ensued of course.I must say I was very excited to watch this since I first heard of the project back in early 2014. I was looking forward to what 'indie' Mexican directors had up their sleeve since we practically have no recognized mainstream horror directors, but no, I cannot vouch for any of them.
