A horror anthology that needs no introduction.
There is something wonderful about the styling and the tone of this film, in many ways it is a love letter to horror and seems like the sort of film that every horror fan can rally for. The aesthetic are very on point as the kids would say, the visual aspects one may say are better than the film itself.
You are presented with 5 horror tales which in and of themselves are a mixed bag, the opening feature about an old man back from the grave for his cake is not very good and is incredibly overly simplistic. However, the Ted Danson Leslie Nelisen story is genuinely chilling and features some great performances. As such one would say that less was more and that maybe 5 stories were too many.
I think there is a little bit too much reliance on the undead. This makes sense as the film was developed by and directed by George Romero, there are some stories such as the one with Stephen King that do move outside the territory of the undead but the vast majority of the tales feature some sort of undead returning to reap vengeance. It becomes repetitive.
Overall, the film has a great look, but the stories are hit and miss.
