Excellent. Well worth a watch. More people need to find this film.
From the way this movie started, it seemed like we were going to learn more about the characters than we actually did. It's definitely got interesting storylines, but none of them ever make sense or feel complete..a little too much left to the imagination in my opinion. Overall not bad, and I liked the transitions from each story to the next, but I wouldn't recommend or watch it again.
Rock solid and entertaining.
I'd go 4.5 if I could. Very solid cosmic horror anthology. Acting and writing are thin in moments but overall a propulsive and engaging experience.
Compelling performances, sharp direction, and an interesting wrap-around/connection framework are almost enough to make this one stand out from the pack, but a lack of logic and too much left unexplained left this viewer wishing the stories were better written. There are tense and riveting moments, but they don’t hold together as a whole despite some pretty clever ideas. This is a shame. It feels like the screenplay was about two drafts away from classic horror status.
