ridiculous rating

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

I don know how to start.Its one of worst, if is not the worst movie ever made!They claim to show 4 stories with a female perspective and the least awful story is the first one (The box), wrote by a man. The next three others stories are worse than awful, "they make no sense in every sense" (its a joke). I think they tried to make a new "Little Deaths (2011)", british movie with 3 terror stories, but they failure in everything, casting, acting, directing and most of all, the plot.again, don't!

I saw this movie twice. First time watching it I hated the first story, because it never explained why everything happened. While watching it I couldn't wait for it to get to the big reveal, but it never does. It just ends without any explanation, and I was really upset. A short story should still have a beginning middle and end. Things should still make sense, not ''just because''. It almost felt like it ended the way it did because the writer/director couldn't think of a good enough plot to tell us why it happened, and where did the man come from. You could chalk it up ''the box'' being apart of witchcraft, but who knows. Second story is obviously more comedic. First time watching it I liked it, but 2nd time around I realized how dumb the main character was. I get that she didn't want to ruin her daughter's birthday party, but there was a better way of going about it. Also they never explained how the father died? Accident? Suicide? Who knows.Third story is typical monster movie, about 4 friends who are in the middle of nowhere. A whiny girl cuts her hand and gets infected with something demonic. It's cliche but entertaining. I would actually like to see a 90 min version of this. Also please keep breathing heavily so the creature knows exactly where you are!Fourth story was the worst. It was boring and I didn't care about the characters. I'll just say this. That whole principal scene made my blood boil. ''He should be expelled''. uh no..he should be in PRISON!

I like to write reviews of movies I really love or really hate and I just finished watching this movie......so....here......we..................go.the box: I've read other reviews where this was their favorite segment of the anthology and I cannot understand why, the story starts on the subway and a man carrying a red box sets next to a mom and her two kids, the boy ask to look into the box and after a while the man agrees, the boy looks inside the box and has an odd look on his face. The boy now refuses to eat, and soon he tells his sister what was in the box and she begins to also not eat, finally the boy tells his dad what was in the box and again the dad stops eating, soon the three of them starve to death and die and the last scenes is of the mother looking for the man with the red box on the subway....the story was not interesting and bored me to tears and for the live of me I still can't believe this was peoples favorite story. 0/10the birthday party: This story isn't even horror or good, a mom finds her husband dead so she drags him around weekend at Bernie style until she finally puts him in a panda suit and places him at the table of her daughters birthday, which brings up another interesting question...why does she have a black daughter...and why did she dress her up as a klansman? Anyway, this story has to many questions, why does she want to hide her husbands death? why did she put her husband at the table where her daughter will find him? why did I keep watching this horrible movie, why didn't I use the fast forward button....to many questions. 0/10the fall: This was the best story and the shortest, it's your standard monster/stalker story. a woman touches some paintings...turns into a monster...and kills her friends. this is the only segment worth watching. 3/10her only living son: I'm going to save you some time, her son is the anti Christ, it's just another devils son story. it takes you about five minutes to figure out this plot point. 2/10This stories are not interesting or worth your time, if you want an anthology movie I would suggest tales of Halloween, trick r treat, or the classic tales from the crypt. overall 2-10

Four horror stories told by female writers and directors in an anthology format.The Good Stories: Don't Fall-Hiking to the top of a mountain, a woman and her friends find the area littered with warning signs from Native Americans. As the group continues their glamping trip, they come to realize that something unnatural might be stalking them in the desert. This was a lot of fun and really is the highlight of the segments. The focus on more traditional horror scares with the group barging in on sacred ground, the turning into a vicious creature and the eventual onslaught of the rest of the group is entirely more entertaining here as there's a lot to like here. From the creepy location out in the desert, the build-up with the Indian markings and the scares about tormenting her before the possession and then fully unleashing the action with the different attacks gives this some traditional thrills and bloodshed that's quite comforting and enjoyable. It may be clichéd in how it plays out, but that's the only knock against it.The Bad Stories: The Box-Returning home from a day out, a woman notices the strange behavior of her son following an encounter on the subway. When the strange affliction begins affecting the rest of her family, she resolves to uncover the truth about the whole affair. This here was quite a troubled way to start this off. The main thing is the wholesale mystery about what's causing the behavior change as the lack of interest in eating makes for a stellar premise to base this on especially once the rest of the family get sucked up with the affliction. The fact that this plays into the female's usual responsibility to cook the food makes for a great premise, and while that is a great starting point, the overall sense of tension here is severely reduced by a lack of information about what they're actually dealing with. It's a fine concept but nothing interesting is done with it since the idea at its core is flawed since what would scare him away from eating would be psychologically damaging in other areas. This troubling lack of resolution really makes this a curious piece to start the film out on. The lone gore scene is great but that's about it in terms of how much fun it is.The Birthday Party-Preparing for her daughters' party, a woman makes the shocking realization that her husband has died during the night. Intent on not letting that ruin her plans, she tries to make sure no one finds out what happened until after the party. This was another troubling effort that really seems unsure of itself. The central premise here seems to be crying out for slapstick comedy routines, as the majority of the time is spent on her manipulating the body around the house trying to keep him out of sight with a series of close- calls as she keeps getting interrupted or moves him out of the way just before being discovered which is all that this constitutes. It looks nice and all, but the serious tone doesn't make it scary in the slightest sense and makes it a really troubling inclusion on that level.Her Only Living Son-About to celebrate a special birthday, a mother finds that raising her son is becoming more difficult due to his violent outbursts. Realizing that something dangerous is about to come to fruition, she sets out to prevent it from claiming him. This was a rather troubling and really bland effort. The fact that this one dwells so heavily on what a tyrant he really is yet this never seems to show or even explain anything about what he's doing is a major downfall here as we don't get any kind of reasoning as for why they're so concerned about what he's done. The second-hand stories we get are mentioned but it's not close to being good enough to handle that type of storyline present here. That really takes out a lot of the fear of this one as this one doesn't have much happening until the end which really saps the life from this one as the only part worthwhile here is the final resolution of it all since that becomes the only real horror-based elements at play here. It's great to look at and flows nicely, but otherwise not much happens.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language and drug use.
