While all but one of the films look good and all have intriguing premises none of them really work well enough to really generate any scares.There is tension but no real payoff. The result is a film that will haunt you visually but which you'll ever be hard pressed to watch a second time except to see the visuals. If only the directors had better scripts this might have been a truly scary film, now it just sort of is.
The worst part is that it isn't a bad film, it just isn't a scary one.
Recommended for horror fans and for those who want to see some really gory horror violence
