Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

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.

With the 3 stories and the wrap around this horror anthology features a couple of familiar faces including CSI veteran Marg Helgenberger.Including an elaborate prank gone wrong, crazy homeless man and his attack dogs, a celebrity stalker and a jocks vengeance.None of the stories are great but are at least competently made.The wrap around though interesting all falls apart in the last act which damages the film.There are a lot of horror anthology's out there and though this one isn't bad it's shadowed by considerably better ones.The Good: The teacher was suitably hammy Intense opening The Bad:Rather clichéd Awful ending Things I learnt from this movie: This prank thing is really get out of hand If attacked by rabid dogs it makes more sense to be on foot than safe in a car Abandoned derelict buildings are logical places to seek a working phone

I haven't seen.this one since I was like 14, and the only scene that I vividly remember was the ending of the first segment, the rest of the movie was vague, but all of it came back to me after watching it anew tonight. It hasn't aged well one bit. Aside from seeing a pre- Californication Pamela Adlon the whole thing wasn't that entertaining. The acting was average (for an '80's horror film) but its not frightening in the least. Only the aforementioned first story is even meagerly watchable, the second tale is OK at a stretch but lacks a true ending, the third was stale, uninspired and painful to sit through. Then we get to the ending,,,, holy Jebus is the ending atrocious you have no idea. But yea safe to say this isn't my favorite movie.

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.
