Reviewed By: Jason S. LockardAnthology movies have been making a bit of a resurgence. Just under five years ago Ruthless Pictures produced an anthology horror film of their own entitled Monsterland.
Amidst a bloody backdrop of chaos and carnage, one panicked, survivor of an apocalypse takes shelter in a movie theater for a few extra moments of life. Little does he know, he’s taken a flying leap out of the frying pan and smack dab into the fire by attending the last movie marathon he’ll ever see.
The eight short stories shown in this anthology film are a little uneven; as is true with most anthology films. Some stories are better than others, but the filmmakers deserve a lot of credit for making a low budget film that doesn't look like one. The actors sell the terror and make it believable.
The 8 short films in this anthology movie include:
Don’t Go Into the Water
The Grey Matter
Curiosity Kills
Hag
Monster Man
House Call
Happy Memories
Stay at Home Dad
Hellyfish
The film is cheesy goodness that one might find on Syfy Channel. So Syfy film lovers will love this anthology. But for every day horror film fans might not get much out of this one.
So if you are a fan of anthology films or indy horror films give Monsterland a try. Head over to Amazon.com and pick up a copy today.
