Regardless of how you feel about horror anthology films, it’s obvious that they aren’t going anywhere. And why would they? The format allows for nascent filmmakers to flex their chops on a short segment before feeling the pressure of a full feature; and given that the short story is the most prominent and effective form of horror (just look at the masters: Poe, Lovecraft, Matheson), it also provides the opportunity to experience these tales visually without stretching them thin to reach standard film length. It’s like reading a literary magazine from cover to cover: different styles, different effects, different scares. I’m all for it.

It doesn't take much to make me happy: just a perfect Northern California spring day, five movies playing in eclectic venues within easy walking distance of a historic town square, and a festive and fancy free dinner (with wine) thrown in. As usual, the hardest part was choosing which of five (or six) movies to go see in any of the five time slots, intelligently labelled Early Morning, Late Morning, Afternoon, Early Evening, and Late Evening. And not that I even chose all that well: "In Montauk," my 10 a.m. pick, was a rather thin if stylishly shot love triangle with a particularly unpleasant female protagonist and a particularly attractive male lead, that felt padded at 68 minutes (that said, it won the Audience Award for Best Drama at the Woods Hole Film Festival and Best Director at the Toronto Independent Film Festival).
