Caught this in theaters last night. Like many anthologies the parts are greater than the whole, but this one hits more than misses. Some are genuinely freaky with good jump scares, while others are gory, and a couple are more whimsical. None are never less than at least interesting. Nice open credits with animation of "old-world" illustrations, and introductions into each segment by way of a book flipping through pages. I stayed all the way through the end credits, not because I was expecting a "stinger", but the distressed look of the scrolling text along with the music/sounds were hypnotic.
Strongly recommended!
