Starting the month off strong with a tasty little anthology! Here we have a collection of four short horror films, all with the goal of giving the chills. Let's take a look at:
Ask and you shall receive!
This is a very solid collection of the macabre. Some are better than others, in my opinion, but they all certainly tell an unnerving tale well. What I noticed most was how tangible, palpable, grainy, and disgusting the entire feel of these stories reflected.
Folks, it's gross! Not like blood and gore gross - but like sticky, filthy, and just overall stank gross. These tales feel like I should smell them! The stories simply reek of straight up nasty and gag worthy ick.
While I really, really enjoyed the first two shorts, the last two were alright. But I enjoyed them all together and somehow, I think that's what really makes this collection.
The stories include a mother who cannot bond with her child (and for good reason), a really stupid farmer, a sad girl dealing with grief and paranoia, and a swindling religious man who knocked on the wrong door. Note! I had to rewind this film a few times because I wasn't paying attention and all of these stories require your full attention.
Maybe not a great film for a causal movie night with friends - probably better suited for a cold, dark night in, alone or with one other person. Best watched in a poorly lit room that has peeling wall paper and a sink dripping somewhere. Pairs with the worst, most disgusting looking TV dinner you can think of and a glass of discolored water.
I watched this film on Tubi or use the Find It! Watch It! links on Horror Habit's side bar to see where else you can find this skin crawler.
