Wish I hadn't bothered

This isn't exactly an anthology movie--technically, all the segments segue into one larger story--but it makes less sense than most films with unrelated tales. My biggest problem with it is the writing. You get some interesting set-ups, or you get some decent payoffs, but never both in the same sequence. Every story leaves out major details that cause them to not really be complete. It's not a matter of drawing your own conclusions, it's not a situation where you have to interpret what you see or put the pieces together. They straight up said, "this would be cool," but didn't take the time to think the whole thing through. The result for me was that I ended up really really not caring. EC Comics, Tales From the Crypt, The Twilight Zone--at least they tried to tell complete, well-structured stories.
