What a mess! I was going to compare it to the kind of thing you see High School students make but, honestly, that would be unfair... you do see some decent horror movies made by kids.
"Scare Package" is essentially just a series of very silly horror effects pieces strung together by... well, there's no real plot to speak of, just a series of scenes, strung together. Not worthy of the title "anthology". It's framed by a video store with some oddball characters in it, and tenuous links into each "chapter". And those chapters have absolutely zero substance... we see some characters, something happens to them, and then it ends. No twists, no clever moral tale, nothing to make you think at all... it's all utterly pointless.
And for a comedy horror anthology, It's never scary, never funny (except perhaps to a lobotomised chimp) and the horror effects are far too goofy to be in the slightest bit believable. I feel sorry a bit for the actors, who actually do ok with what they've been given, but what they've been given is so poorly written. It's trying desperately to be funny (and also, sigh, "meta"), but fails to land a single joke.
And yet there are reviews on here trying to pull the old "well, if you know about horror movies, you'll find it funny" trick... I wonder if they're really just friends and family of the people who made this? This is not even "so bad it's good"... it's just bad. A complete waste of time. Avoid.
