I like the idea but the execution is lacking. General summary of movie

Horror anthology movies are probably my favorite type of movies. This like most have their strong stories and their weaker ones. The wrapper that connects all of these short stories was decent enough a demon telling stories to the audience like the crypt keeper.There are 4 short stories to this movie only 1 of them was even decent. Keeping the descriptions general the first is some guys sees some creepy jump scare stuff then tries to go be a slasher like Jason but a normal clothes dude with a small knife is not a good slasher. There is a poorly executed twist at the end. The second one which is also the best of them follows a suburban couple who may be pretending to be in a different era but the tech around them disagrees. An uninvited guest shows up and a fun twist happens. The third one which I forgot about when I started writing this also has an interesting premise but feels unfinished. A guy checks into his hotel orders a Wake Up Call (the title) but hears some stuff from the next room over a discovers something terrible has happened. The final story may have been acceptable if it wasn't twice as long as it needed to be and take up a third of the movie. Nothing exciting happens some kid gets bullied and deals with it poorly. Overall though all but 1 of the shorts were poorly executed and the wrapper combining them all was acceptable.

Nope...

Well, from the intro sequence alone, then I have to say that I had zero expectations to the movie, as the intro sequence was really, really amateurish. But I still opted to give the movie a fair chance, since I had never even heard about it.Now, had I known that it was an anthology, I very much doubt that I would have given it the time of day, as horror anthologies tend to be questionable affairs. And adding comedy to the formula? Well, while it might work in theory, it didn't really work here in "Lady Belladonna's Night Shades", as the movie was fully and wholly devoid of comedy.The stories - or individual segments - in the anthology weren't particularly entertaining, much less scary or funny. So it was a swing and a miss.Needless to say that I was not familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list. But I can't claim to say that the acting performances in the movie were overly impressive, memorable or good.Hardly a movie that I would recommend you to go and waste 88 minutes on watching. And most certainly not a movie that will ever find its way back a second time to my screen.How this 2016 anthology landed a 5.1 rating here on IMDb, as of the very moment I watched the movie, is simply beyond my comprehension.My rating of the 2016 movie "Lady Belladonna's Night Shades" lands on a very, very generous three out of ten stars.
