It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

A psychotic serial killer (the delectable Debbie Rochon who sadly keeps her clothes on throughout the film) on death row, regales her potential executioner (old Leatherface himself, Gunnar Hansen) with three horror stories.The first is about a sad pathetic woman who drowns her kids (she's under the impression that her boyfriend didn't like them) only to get her just desserts when the duo of drowned tykes arise from their watery grave for revenge. This was the most predictable, and dare I say boring, of the three stories. Over-acted by all and I just couldn't get into it. It was reminiscent of Creepshow's 'Something to Tide you over' segment, but not nearly as good or entertaining.The second story, and best if only by default, features a battered wife who's at the end of her rope when she decides to visit the local witch of the neighborhood for help. Of course unsurprisingly, things don't go exactly as planned. This was a bit better then the dreary first one, but still wasn't halfway decent. I enjoyed the acting a tad better, but the horror expect of it doesn't really come into play until the tale is almost over. This one would've been more suited for an, particularly lesser, episode of the beloved "Monsters" series.The last tale has to do with a bizarre & sacrilegious ritual that's performed by a group of bikers and also centers on the gang's newest member who may not be who he seems. While this final story was kind of on the boring side, at least it had tits to liven things up. Trust me I don't usually fixate on such a base thing as that and tend to prefer decent characterization, good acting and an interesting story, but hey any port in the storm as they say. The film concludes with the wraparound featuring a laugh/cackle that is repeated and like nails on a chalkboard to listen to. Drector/Writer/Producer Paul Talbot sure likes horror anthologies, this being his third one, you would think that he'd get better at them. He hasn't...Eye Candy: Roxanne Micheals & an unknown actress get topless and lightly make-outMy Grade: D

This is a great low budget horror anthology from Troma, that's creative, with 3 great stories!. I saw this in the horror section, at the DVD store i go to, and it was on cheap, so i picked it up, but i wasn't expecting much, however what i got was a great Anthology, that was very entertaining, and i will watch it again!. It's also pretty well made, and it had one fantastic performance from Debbie Rochon, plus it was actually quite creepy in places!.1st Story ("Watery Grave"). This is the weakest of the bunch however it's still pretty entertaining, with some creepy mood thrown in,however the acting definitely needed some work,still this is a pretty entertaining story that i enjoyed, the ending was pretty cool too. a solid! Grade B 2nd Story ("White Trash Love Story") This is a very cool story, with bad acting, and dialog, however it's very interesting, and very entertaining, with a really amusing ending,and there were actually a couple moments where i felt sorry for the lead character!. Grade B+3rd story ("Big Rhonda") is the best of the bunch it's extremely entertaining, with decent performances, and a bit of nudity and tame lesbianism, however i liked the flashbacks, and the ending is pretty damn cool, plus it had me in stitches a couple of times Grade A There is quite a bit of blood and gore. We get head bashed in with a rock,very gory stabbings,decapitation,gory transformation,gory impaling with machete,cut off hand,bloody corpses,slit wrists,an ATF slit throat,severed head, and lots of blood!.The Acting is bad, but a lot of fun!.Debbie Rochon is STUNNINGLY GORGEOUS, and is AMAZING here, she is very creepy, extremely convincing, had some awesome lines, and i will never forget that creepy laugh, she was simply amazing!. Gunnar Hansen is pretty good as the executioner and was kinda cool. Rest of the cast range from very bad to decent.Overall i highly recommend this great low budget horror anthology!.***1/2 out of 5

Cemetery Man

Jailed serial killer (Rochon) spins three horror yarns to her executioner in a haunted prison cellblock. The film as whole just plain reeks of mediocrity, the acting, sets and special effects are below even b-movie standards. The only saving grace is the performances of Rochon and Hansen and the second story which is tolerable.

If you are a true Troma fan,you will love this movie. Debbie Rochan showed a great performance. Gunnar Hansen,the original Leatherface, also makes a appearance as their warden. Most of the stories are like most Troma movies with multiple tales of terror(such as chillers), they have a story that is all right and interesting. But they all have a real good ending. Also the ending of the main story is an excellent climax. I give it a 97/100
