Well, i just wanted to write this because i understood a bit more than above reviewer did of the plots of the three segments of this horror film UNHOLY WOMEN.
While above synopsis is also correct, the chase sequence in the first story Rattle Rattle appears to be a dream sequence. The creepy monster lady in red appears to be a ugly man with big eyes that gets crazier looking as the movie progresses. it seems funny, esp after she brings the ugly lady down with a vase to the head, but you will be getting the goosebumps after it keeps coming up like a zombie, and relentlessly chasing her until she wakes up in a hospital room. She feels like she understands what happens but eventually the monster reveals itself and the cycle repeats itself. Great horror timing and great prosthetics BUT the cheesy video effects might kill some of the horror factor. This was my favorite segment, nonetheless.
The second segment was weird and comical (think Little Shop of Horror), and the third - from how I understood it - was about mother and child who go home to their ancestral home. The mother gets possessed by an older spirit (one that already killed a relative in another lifetime) and wants to be with the living child.
There's not a lot of cohesion in the stories, and mostly, I feel like the short stories were more experimental in nature than they were strict narratives, but echoing the earlier reviewer's sentiment: the lack of plot for all 3 stories give way to the opportunity for more creepy horror.
PS. I tried watching American Horror Story before this one and was NOT interested nor amused. Rattle rattle (the first segment) disturbed me more. Goes to show you don't need million $ effects to create a good (horror) story.
