At first, I didn’t think I was going to like this movie. It’s so damn slow in the beginning that it took me a couple tries just to get through the first five minutes. However, once it actually gets to the action, it’s pretty awesome. The wraparound story is about a gang of crooks who are hired to steal a rare VHS tape from a house. However, much to their dismay, the house is full of tapes, and they have to go through them to see which is the one they need to take. The tapes they watch are full of horrific and just plain bizarre situations. The film consists of five different horror shorts by five different directors, each bringing a different kind of style and story to the table. If you don’t feel like sticking around for the whole film, just watch the first short. It’s considered the best one.
