Being a big fan of 80's and 70's horror I knew I would like this movie and for the larger part I did. The non-anthology story, the wrap around story was easily far more interesting than any of the brief segments. It was no match for Creepshow 1 or 2 or similar really good anthologies.
The last 2 segments were good as this is where the movie picks up its thriller component, especially the last one with the Telephonist Alex being played by Marg Helenberger. The first segment was more horror and seemed too rushed production wise.
There were actually some pretty neat special fx at the end as the wrap around story concludes the movies narrative and its definitely worth the wait. This is the main problem I have with anthologies, its trying to rate mixed content especially in the case of After Midnight. The stories needed to be a lot better I think because the wrapper seemed much better.
