very good horror compendium

Saw this last night at the Tees Valley International Film Festival at the Arc in Stockton on Tees.

No huge budget but they were able to tell the four stories really well.

The acting was pretty decent and the effects were well done.

Set around a campfire with four campers each telling a tale with the Night King, Richard Brake holding court as the very creepy Darwin.

I particular like the opener 'In The Shadows' which had a very good monster. A bit of a nod to Alien set in a poorly lit warehouse and a guy trying to escape a couple of gangsters and finding they were the least of his worries.

The ending to this was quite clever.

The other three each had their moments and overall it was nicely shot.

Rufus Hound as a swinger and Bill Fellows as the night watchman in #1 were well known names but the rest of the cast not so.

But everyone did a good solid job.

The TVIFF has been showcasing new talent all week and this a very good example of what can be achieved even without Hollywood style funding.

Well done to all involved.

Low budget anthology has never been better.

Top clash anthology from some great up and coming British filmmakers.

Bookmarked by the excellent Richard Brake, that menacing smile works perfectly, we could have a new Crypt Keeper on our hands. There's certainly plenty of room to develop from this well paced hour and a half.

Four completely different stories, some better than others but not a dud one in the bunch. The first two being pretty dark and the second two much more lighthearted.

The time flew by, I'm off to research the directors, can't wait to see more of their work.

This movie should tick horror fans boxes, I really hope it finds an audience.

Watched at Dead and SudBuried 2023.
