Perhaps the lamest horror anthology movie ever.
The blonde that's watching the "VHS tape" makes a comment how important it is to have a VHS player because "Texas Chainsaw Massacre looks so fake on Bluray". But then she proceeds to watch this "VHS tape" with Bluray quality. Duh. Not a great sign of things to follow, this lame intro.
Story 1 is pointless. A boy and his babysitter eat pumpkin seeds and it kills them and that's pretty much it. Really stupid, overly simplistic even for a horror story.
Story 2 at least has some kind of an end-twist, lame as it is. Though we don't quite understand what's the deal with the first two houses where the kids go trick-or-treating.
Story 3 is like a tiny excerpt out of a lame horror feature. It explains nothing about what's going on. And that's why we don't give a hoot about the characters, because we have no idea whom they're giving the sacrifice to, for what purpose, nor why the old geezer forgot to bring the meat because he "got nervous" (duh) considering they do this thing annually. This appeasing-the-woods-monster shtick isn't worth four pages in a pulp fiction comic-book, let alone a story on the big screen, not even in this lame anthology.
Story 4 is very stupid. It does have a plot-twist i.e. has a beginning and a conclusion, but it's a dumb conclusion.
Story 5 is only 2-3 minutes long and is marred by horrible amateur acting.
Story 6 is perhaps the longest, and the most tedious one, with a particularly lame ending. The sort of Z-grade crappola you get on the worst episodes of a lame horror-story TV show. You mustn't exceed an elementary school education to write something this corny.
Story 7 is another simplistic, dumb tale that has no beginning or conclusion, just drivel.
Story 8 is somewhat eerie, which is more than can be said for the others, but it's standard predictable stuff yet again.
And then the connecting story ends in the lamest possible way. They even have the cajones to use the same shtick - that they ripped off from "Ringu" anyway - that they used in the first anthology, which was better. Did I say "lame" a lot? You'd too if you reviewed this dross, but you won't because I warned you not to watch it.
