"A Night of Horror - Vol. 1" is a horror anthology containing some "hits," but mostly misfires. There are ten stories, and I am not going to go into them all. I will talk about the ones I liked.
"Hum" is a story about a hum coming from inside the walls of an apartment building. The girl who lives there thinks she is going crazy, as she seems to be the only person who can hear this noise. However, after she calls the building's superintendent, she learns she isn't all that crazy. I will not give away the ending, but I will say it has one of the most disturbing monsters I have ever seen. "Priest" was also a step above the rest. A woman's ride home on a commuter train leads her to an encounter she will never forget.
Although I didn't care for the majority of these film shorts, I at least applaud the filmmakers for their restraint. There is blood and violence, but it is how these tales attack your mind that makes the film work. Hopefully, Vol. 2 will be even better.
Rated R for language, disturbing images, and violence.
