Review of Locker 13

Locker 13 (2014)
One flaw... but a fatal one
25 May 2016
I have always been a fan of horror anthologies, whether they be in comic book form (like those 1950s EC Comics) or in movie form. So it should come as no surprise that I've seen a LOT of horror anthologies. Which may explain why I had a big problem with "Locker 13". Since I have seen so many short horror tales with big twists at the end, in recent years I have found new horror anthologies to be very predictable. Of the five stories told in "Locker 13", I was able to more or less guess what "surprise" twist would happen on four of these stories. The one story that I wasn't able to predict the ending (a secret society new member initiation) had a ending that was disappointing in another manner, just petering out with NO surprise at all. While this movie isn't the worst horror anthology I have seen - it has some genuine merit, like good acting and fine production values for what was a pittance of a budget - if you are looking for neat twists and surprises, you better look elsewhere. Unless you've never seen a horror anthology before.
