Too much of everything

Best movie ever!

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

Just like a wild ride on a roller coaster, I was in turn terrified and intrigued while, between jolts, enjoying the visuals (due to the high quality photography & music, which is impressive). The different segments follow one another easily and provide an exciting enigma for the genre fans to find out who directed what, since you only find out when the end credits roll. Let's just say that between an astonishing new take on motherly love and the afterlife; an exorcism gone exhilaratingly ferocious in an East Los Angeles Catholic school; a proposition not many of us would turn down - even though it includes medical treatments; the unexpected kick-ass power of that lame wannabe "close" friend; and the Baudelairian/Paul McCarthy-comparable depicting how our gloomy days for us introverts worsen, beware: those 119 minutes go by really fast but will haunt you a long while!

A pretty fun anthology with some star directors of genre, including Joe Dante and Mick Garris. I had one clear favorite here, and that was directed by Alejandro Brugues (Juan of the Dead) who pulled out all the stops and had some pretty wild twists in what begins looking like a standard issue "girl chased by blade wielding psychopath in remote woods" story to something really funny and unexpected. The other tales are all okay and shot well. Plenty of blood and guts and VFX. What you don't get is great writing. An exorcism story never explains itself. It looks very cinematic, but I didn't understand what was going on or why really. The last story about a kid whose family is murdered is a cool ghost tale, but never explains why the killer is so intent on this kid and this family so it was hard to connect to. But the flick is fun overall if you watch for the first story and then enjoy some gore, some scares, a creepy Mickey Rourke, hot nuns getting boned, and cinematic eye candy.
