So as part of the horror film watching my wife had us watch this movie together after dissing one of my recommended horror films.
This film is awful.
Sad because I really like horror films like these where there are different stories which leads to something bad happening at the end. Problem is this one felt like a student film.
It doesn't start off well at all. Some girl and these hicks go out to the Mexican desert and turns out these hicks kill these Mexicans in the back of the truck. Girl gets upset over this and they are attacked by zombies. The ending doesn't make sense but you can say that to about every segment here.
The second one, to me, is probably the better of the segments mainly because at least we have a likeable protagonist. This Japanese guy who misses his dead wife comes across this girl who looks like his wife but then gets kidnapped by this white dude. He ends up saving her and gets invited to a party where it makes even less sense than the last segment.
The third one has this guy with a body in the trunk and the story that leads to him being pulled over. There's not much to it than that and the payoff really isn't that great.
The fourth is the longest of the segments about some clown who bites this guy and he turns into some demon clown who is looking for revenge on the other clown and how he misses his son. I've seen this story done better in movies simply titled "Clown" but this one did have the most effort put in. The makeup effects, I must admit, looked pretty good. However, it's marred by some questionable acting and shoddy camera work. They used this for the cover and this will probably be the most remembered.
Then the last segment honestly didn't make much sense and it's very boring. Luckily it's short.
All and all, if you have to watch something new for Halloween and like these segment films.... I still can't recommend this unless you like really bad movies and want to riff with your friends. If you can get intoxicated before you watch, even better.
