Oh My Gosh. Where do I even start. The wrapper was a good , if not overused, premise - girl gets picked on and plans revenge. Just like any low-budget flick, they didn't bother spending too much on extras. Apparently, the five 'students' that this story revolves around were the only ones who attend this school. Oh sure... we HEAR about all the other 'kids' that the goth girl invited to her party... but we never see anyone else. At the party, to which only four people were invited... can someone explain to me why there was a need to hire, not just a valet, but two!? When the guests arrive, it is dark outside, yet when everyone walks inside, the sun is shining in the doorway behind them. :eye_roll: I was expecting a different twist once the party got going, and the ending was not expecting... so that was good...
The stories themselves... The first one was ok. Really bad acting and for a bar on a weekend night... once again the lack of funds for extras really shows. As with the main wrapper, it's supposed to be night, but at times it looks more like broad daylight filmed through a neutral density filter and other times it flips from sunny to pitch black just like that. But it was a good tale with an ending that you won't expect. I'd have given that story alone four stars, maybe higher if they'd done a better job producing it and better acting.
The second story... holy 'ell. You've got a couple in the middle of the DESERT (keep that word in mind) and they are walking a ways off the road in the DESERT (with no car in which they arrived to be seen) and they walk up to a block building in the middle of the DESERT. They tell the old man there that they are looking for a good place to camp. He tells them that the FOREST is haunted and that they don't want to camp there. Just then, another guy drives up and, he too is looking for a place to camp. This is the busiest DESERT I have ever seen. And throughout the story, everyone keeps calling this DESERT a forest. There isn't a freaking tree to be seen, but ... sure. We have the same problem with day and night that we've seen throughout the rest of the film, with the added bonus of the couple changing clothes from one scene to the next.
The final story... all I will say about this one is that it rainbow approved.
