Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

tiskec I don't think this movie is half as bad as the rating seems to conclude. Yes, it is your typical anthology horror, but there's at least one common thing about all the stories it tells. All the stories are related to that of the mental patients, and how they got to the looney bin in the first place. So I give it credit for staying on track. This may sound weird, but this film had a fairy-tale affect on me. All of the horror stories gave me that sense for some reason. Each story had it's own horror characters and beasts (A huge demon disguised as this massive looking man and dolls that get into this guys head and eventually come to life). The characters kind of play a part in that feeling as well. It's actually very unique in a way, and keeps your attention. The movie will go through all of the patients stories, and reveal how they all got messed up in the head. In one of them, for example, the "huge" demon I mentioned before appears to help a little boy who is getting sexually abused by his father. The demon appears and whoops the sh*t out of him. Good, at least that's what I said. This is another reason to associate the fairy tale aura, it's like the demon is his protector and came to rescue him. Me personally, I don't think this movie is as bad as people have rated it, although everyone is different. I say it's one of those movies you have to watch in order to see if you like it or not, you just can't go off of others opinions on this particular flick. The acting wasn't bad, but not super good either. The script was okay and the dialog was alright. Like I said, watch at your own leisure.

Jacques Du Rand Though this film is not perfect and the overall through-line is pretty thin, the 4.5 rating I saw on IMDb before watching this is greatly underrated! The three individual stories are very subtly told with a soft sense of the intensity of human pain and how the mind deals with it. The directions is superbly intuitive and gentle with the subject matter. The Camera Shots supports the stories that need to be handles with care by keeping simple and just telling the story. If you are up for a story told in the tradition (although not as mastered) of Johnny Darko, this movies will hold your attention. It explores very deep set human pain and how that pain has manifested in the different characters of the three stories. Do not see this as a horror film - for the usual horror audience will probably be bored. The themes and the subject matter is perfect for the horror genre, but the intelligence and insight of the filmmaker is better described under an art house style presentation. Empty your mind, your preconceptions and watch the three stories with an open heart and you will walk away with a great insight into why people that hurt turn out the way they do.

bradleybean86 Some horror films purposefully leave/cut out of scenes in order for your mind to fill in the blanks, perhaps creating more suspense. Some films are very in your face and over the top, leaving nothing to the imagination and often challenging us to continue watching. This movie falls under the first category. Incidentally, I don't think that was the intention of this movie as much as a latent function due to it having no subsistence.When I hear 'Horror Anthology' I suppose I secretly hope for something along the lines of 'Creepshow' or 'Tales From The Darkside: The Movie.' But this baddie is not even in the same ballpark.It has so much going for it in the production value, title & setting and utilizes about 5-10% of what was available. The three stories do not have any connection (not that they need to) other than Malcom Mcdowell occasionally popping up as "The Doctor" to narrate or clarify parts of the three boring stories.This movie has zero gore, and extremely sparing use of blood. I almost wonder if they were going for a PG-13 release because other than a couple female breasts, there's nothing here to justify an R rating. Don't get me wrong, I don't think that EVERY horror movie needs to have heads rolling and blood splashing everywhere; but in the case of a boring movie like this, it would have helped. I cannot recommend this to anyone who is a horror fan.

smileybug-356-78305 This was a good movie. Not anything fantastic, but worth watching on a rainy day. It was very much like a Twilight zone, with 3 different stories, or the old 80's movies/TV shows Tales of the Crypt. The first story has John Glover, doing an excellent job of portraying the crazy artist struggling to hang onto reality. The second stars Lacey Chabert, playing a concerned school teacher worried about the welfare of one of her students who might be being abused by his father (played wonderfully by Chris Mulkey). The best story was the last, with Lou Diamond Phillips. He was really convincing as a college professor who becomes obsessed with the Mayans prediction of the end of the world in 2012. His obsession has him spending his family's' savings creating an underground bunker to protect them when the time comes. All three stories are about people who have lost touch with reality. They are institutionalized and then you get flashbacks of their lives before they were committed. Would recommend if you like this type of story.
