It didn't scare me but it was a reasonably good watch

Set in a small town called Sugarton five aspiring writers gather in a book shop after the store has closed for the day to share their horror stories, meanwhile a serial killer nicknamed "Cutthroat" is committing real murders in town. This is a horror anthology comprising of five segments plus a wraparound story. 1 - Night Haul. A woman finds herself trapped in a storage centre along with a demon. A couple of jump scares but little else. 2 - Untethered. The teenage son of a cop sneaks a look at disturbing police photos about some mysterious deaths. This one is creepy but again lacking in plot. 3 - Dead Ringer. A hitchhiker comes across an unlocked car. Its owner shows up, he's being terrorised by his wife who has turned into some sort of demon creature. Quite explosive visually but again thin on plot. 4 - The Resting. A woman hangs herself in her lounge. Her estranged daughter and her partner inherit the house. They invite their elderly neighbour Esther around for tea, things soon become quite weird. This one is far less reliant on visually effects, instead it goes with a plot that starts off quite creepy and intriguing but sadly ends disappointingly. 5 - After Hours. The final part is read by Peter the bookshop owner. After a bar closes for the night Jasmin finds her work colleague Kyle dead with a slashed throat. The end. It shouldn't take a genius to figure out where this one is going! I found the acting, production values and musical score to be good enough. As is normal some stories are better than others, none of them are great but despite lacking in plot they are all visually rewarding. Sadly the wraparound plot featuring Cutthroat is a unremarkable slasher. Overall a fairly enjoyable watch with no shortage of horror and it never lags, just don't expect to be blown away by the stories.

Pretty good!

I love a good horror, especially short horror stories.I was a fan of the Creepshow films, back in the day.I watch a lot of ghost stories at Christmas, so I was in the mood for some horror.I won't go too much into detail as I wouldn't want to spoil it but each story is a different tale.I thought the stories were original, quite creepy in parts and the acting was good, for the most part.I worked out the ending pretty quickly, which was a little disappointing, but I still enjoyed the movie overall.The CGI wasn't epic but it wasn't that bad either.I'd probably buy this to add to my horror collection.
