    It's necessary to shake things up a bit when material starts to become too trite and horror really does need its Renaissance. I was hoping this anthology would be a welcome addition to the world of horror and provide a fresh perspective. But it falls flat, with two of its segments feeling like they're not even horror and one that should have been a bad SyFy flick. The intermission fluff segments were oddly irritating because they were filmed via stop motion. These were intended to be macabre but came off as uninteresting and nonsensical. It's unfortunate that this was a showcase of female horror directors because it undermines other aspiring female directors in the future. So, is it worth watching? My recommendation: watch the 4th segment then find something better to watch for the night.
