good film but with many flaws

Beautiful, moving film.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Okay, I just read a review of this movie and the guy says this movie is PG-13. Where the heck did you get that rating from? It says it is rated R, and no where else says PG-13 for this movie. Someone has lost his marbles. Need to go find them dude.One of the best Anthology movies, but not the best. Most of the 80s anthologies are very good compared to the newer ones. This one pulls you in and really takes you into the horror at the end. I really enjoy these kind of horror movies.Just not that many done in the 90s or 2000s. I wish there were though. I really like catching this on Comet television network. That I saw it quite a few times now. Creepy, but I do not get scared easily, and PG- 13 horror is a no scary movie at all for me.Lack of everything a rated R horror movie should have from a PG-13 horror. So there is no way this one was PG-13. Guy that said that is nuts. Must of been on something to say that. Check it out.

They say that a student is only as good as their teacher. If this is true, then we the viewer as student have failed miserably. This hilariously dated 1980's film on a college class facing fear straight-on is interwoven with poor 'horror stories' and is mediocre at best. Overacting, clichéd scenes, and 80's fashion fail this film. If you lived the 80's then this may be a fun albeit painful remembrance for you. If not, then you'll cringe not at the horror stories but of the hair and clothes of the actors. There's plenty of other anthology movies out there that far surpass this film. A nude scene here or there might have moved the film to the head of the class, but there is none of that, and without it - and more importantly real writing - this movie flunks for the term.

In the vein of stuff like Creepshow and the like comes a movie about a strange college professor (Ramy Zada), who attempts to provide to his students the most intimate understanding of fear by scaring them as much as he can.So they go to his house and tell typical urban legends complete with women in distress, creepy phone calls, empty gas stations, and yes, a flat tire in front of a scary mansion. Well, it started all right.The three stories are overarched by the story of the students in the professor's house, one that has its own sort of horror conceits coming in towards the end. In typical 80s b-movie bonanza, it's just a dream. So honestly, if you're looking for something--I don't know--compelling? you won't find it here. This is just something to have around for, like, television fright night specials or Halloween ghoulies for preteens.Which is too bad, because the beginning of this movie points out something very important, something that I wish horror film makers would realize to a stronger degree and utilize correctly: fear is a profound psychological effect, and in a way, it's important to feel strong levels of fear to understand yourself more, how you function and who you are. Too bad horror movies then just throw all that stuff away for cheap skeleton effects, bugs, and cat-out-of-the-bag gags.Oh well.--PolarisDiB

Well...I liked this movie as a matter of fact, it was cool in its time and now a days its dated but its still spooky in some bits. Lets talk about the stories: The First one is about a couple who gets their car stalled in the road, in the middle of nowhere and they have to go and ask for the phone in an old house, did anyone say "cliche", now, everybody knows that its better to stay in the car, get something to use as a weapon in case of someone really attacking you and breaking the windows of the car and try to stay calm,sleep and wait till the next day when you can walk or wait for help, in this story they do the complete opposite and go to the house, Big mistake, but later you find out it was destined for them to go there and something horrible to happen. The second story talks about a problem that usually happens, women love to ask for directions, man doesn't, in this film 4 girls ask for directions in a place they don't know and to a guy so damn dirty that i wouldn't even give a dime to....of course they get in trouble..and big trouble...This story reminds me of that Emilio Estevez film about some guys getting lost on the bronx...man its creepy. The third one is a Twilight Zone must cause it has all the mood to a half hour show..about a girl that works at a call center and she gets harassed and someone starts to stalk her. The movie is O.K but its very surreal at th ending and then they show why it happened that way. ::::::::::::::SPOILER:::::::::::::::::: Its all about a LOOP HOLE IN TIME.......you can see it in Back to the future.
