Warning: Spoilers
This is 4 short stories told in 80 minutes.

The first two tales are different from other horror tales, while the second two are simply short versions of stories we have already seen. The stories were done well. If you need closure in a tale, this is not where you want to be.

Story 1- "The Box" is about a boy who looks into a box and loses his appetite and does not eat. The dining room table had food on it every night. I gained five pounds just watching it. Excellent.

Story 2- Is about a birthday party. A mother so obsessed with appearances goes to comical lengths to conceal her husband's recent passing.

Story 3- 2 couples in a remote area...the proverbial one suggested by a gas station attendant.

Story 4- A far too common genre about a mothers' love for her special son.

I also enjoyed the claymation doll between the tales.

Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.
