Its scary. Its funny. Its not heavy on the plot but thats because it is an anthology film so they pay-off is not so much the result of any harrowing reveals or twist. The humor is good for a horror film as I often find the genres level of humor to be campy and on the nose but thats not so here. I genuinely laughed at points. I was never scared but the story telling made the whole thing worthwhile. Additionally one of the stories acheives a genuine sense of emotion and pathos which often seems to go missing in genres as dry and self-reflexive as horror.
