Quick setup into short movies. The intro is decent and (more importantly) quick and the interludes/finale are well-made and, as advertised, both theatrical and bizarre.
First feature: Very silly. GREAT relationship: He obviously is with her for her amazing conversational abilities (and she’s great in the sack). She obviously is with him because she shares his deep spiritual/historical curiosity (and he’s great in the sack).
Second feature: Well-acted and fairly convincing. Ah…L’Amour.
Third feature: Tom Savini directing…opening reaction: YAY!
Abusive husband deals with some very disturbing dreams. Intelligent and creepy. And gory, of course…Savini’s gotta flex the mastery he’s developed over the years. Nay, decades.
Fourth feature: Ruminations on life and death. Fairly interesting.
Fifth feature: Clever, creepy, gory, thought-provoking, and extremely disturbing. The best.
Sixth feature: Sickeningly-sweet ruminations on inane breakup cliches and shallow, self-centered, self-absorbed scumbags.
It’s all quite gruesome and somewhat artsy, but if you can deal with (or prefer) that sort of thing, it’s pretty good overall.
Grade: B-
