Why does Amazon offer garbage like this? Absolutely horrible.

Why?

What if...James Whale and Roger Corman teamed-up?

That's what's so great with Prime: the incredible catalog and the efficient AI that offers you movies you don't necessarily expect. As movie-buffs, we're often disappointed by the lazy movies sometimes made by established people. It's even irritating.
Fortunately, there are guys that have the guts and who don't care. They make movies no matter what. I admit I picked up this one because of the blonde and the leg on the poster (hey that's what posters are for) and I was intrigued by the storytelling since the very beginning.
If there's not much money, we can obviously find culture and fun. Culture because the guys know what they do and real movie lovers know what those segments are about: James Whale, Terence Fischer, Umberto Lenzi, Jack Arnold and Roger Corman. Different names than those listed in the end credits but those are the ones I viewed. Hey, hard to have better references, eh? The good point is they digested them, and try their best to say something original. They sorta succeed.
They don't stick to silly humor like Creepshow. They don't try to demonstrate some arty stuff, like Nightmare Cinema. They don't irritate us like ABC. They're worried about telling fun stories you don't necessarily see elsewhere (God bless foreign cultural points of view). And they take the risk to deceive and provoke, no matter what. And I love that!
There's culture, fun and vision. Well, when you don't have much budget (2K according to imdb!), you need to find something else, right?

Micro budget but big fun

26 segments give a headache. 4 is the right number. When they're different kinds of stories, it's the winning formula.
This anthology is evidence money is not necessarily the right tool (sometimes it is if for example you wanna shoot the siege of Jerusalem). Fun and integrity are the most essential mammals for nourishing moviegoers.
And this is what you have here. You got monsters, big knives, hillbillies, femmes fatale and... a giallo set in the good old 70s (the cab is beautiful, I want the same car!).
Acting could have been better but hey it adds to the charm alongside with the leg show.

Pleasantly surprised! Amazon Prime comes through!

Searching for a good horror movie in Amazon has become increasingly harder due to so many new independent film makers who are now on Amazon. I decided to give this one a shot and was extremely happy that I did. This anthology was very well done, well written, well directed and perfectly cast. I would high recommend this one for those who love a good horror movie!!
I JUST LOVE SOME INSTANCES, WHERE ISCREEMED.

I love psychological horror, survival horror .
Also, I have a huge soft spot for a good horror-comedy. Oh yeah, and I absolutely HATE when animals are harmed in movies, so I will immediately think less of any movie, where animals are harmed for entertainment (even if the animals are just really good actors). Fortunately, horror doesn't use this nearly as much as comedy. And people assume horror lovers are the messed up ones. Go figure!
The good point is they digested them, and try their best to say something original. They sorta succeed.

I love all the scene
expjeremy1 September 2022
Every scene is great. I don't know why people are hating on the movies,there great scene is my favourite over all but the rest of the movies are close second idc what people say.
He story line is pretty much satisfying in the first season. And definitely improves in the second. Great potential awaits.
Amazing actors/actresses are discovered.......................................................................................................................................................................Characters do develop through the second season. They become more appealing and sincere.
Most importantly, this show makes you want to be a part of it. A part of that world, their world. This is important.
Go and start watching.
