Tales from the Darkside: the Movie gathers three terrifying tales. There's a wraparound story featuring the lead singer of Blondie, Deborah Harry (Videodrome) as a witch who is planning on making a feast out of a young boy Timmy (Matthew Lawrence). Timmy presents each of the three tales.
Lot 249 is the first tale. It's about a college student who purchases a mummy. He's able to use the mummy to do his bidding against those who have done him wrong. Christian Slater (True Romance, Pump Up the Volume), Steve Buscemi (Airheads, Grownups) and Julianne Moore (Short Cuts, Boogie Nights) are featured in this tale.
Next is the Cat from Hell. An old man is convinced the car in his house is deadly. He hires a hitman to kill the cat. William Hickey (Puppet Master, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation) and the lead singer of the New York Dolls, David Johansen (Scrooged, Car 54 Where Are You?) star.
Lover's Vow is the third and final story of the anthology. An artist encounters are gargoyle late at night, but it spares his life as long as he promises to never tell a soul. That same night, he meets his dream girl and his luck turns for the best. 10 years go by and he breaks his promise. James Remar (The Warriors) and Raw Dawn Chong (Commando) star in this bizarre tale.
Overall Tales from the Darkside the Movie is a solid horror anthology.
