The Journal.......2006-07-04

I bought this DVD with a bunch of other horror flicks, thinking it would be average. However I was very impressed with the quality of independent film makers out there, especially the work on Edmund Dyers. It has a hot chick and is a wicked tale. I wish there was a book or feature about it. Buy this DVD you will not be disappointed.

The short films in this compilation range from well-turned indie horror to student-film scrappiness, but they certainly deliver on the gore. Fangoria magazine put the call out for short-form horror flicks, and this batch comprises the winners. As is generally the case with anthologies, there are some dead zones--perhaps a few too many for the combined one-hour running time. Among the best are: Mr. Eryams, a nicely sustained mood-and-blood piece about an observer coming to a haunted house (keep an eye out in the future for director BC Furtney); Song of the Dead, which plays a deliciously fresh variation on the zombie theme; and Disturbances, a small but creepy number with that scariest of household horrors... little dead-eyed dolls. As for the rest, you'd better be a big fan of slasher stuff. "Hosted" by the ineffable Rob Zombie. --Robert Horton

Its like confusing........2006-05-22

me and my freind rented this and it was like confusing. Yousee we just scored some good stuff and we watched Blood drive while we used it. Well, the movie was confusing yo u see because the plot and the people kept changing. I went "Dude whats up with this?" and my freind was all "its not just one movie. Its a bunch of movies."
i thought they could have made that clearer. its like on my 21st birthday becuase im like over 21 you know. Well, I'm at this bar with anotherf reind and well i wanna go home cuz i'm like way out of it by now. He keeps saying "Yeah, Tad. after this drink we'll go. After thisdrink well go you get the idea. i guess he figured i couldnt tell it was a diffrent drink every time he said it.
Faschist.
I hate fashcists.
Well, i guess if its a bunch of movies some are pretty good.
See ya!

2 Stars instead of 1 Simply Because I Couldn't Stop Laughing.......2005-12-12

My husband & I rented this movie because we love the horror genre & thought we might be in for a good scare. No such luck in that department. We did laugh a lot, though. We actually made a joke of reccommending this DVD to our friends just so we wouldn't be the only one's who wasted our money. The plotlines were mostly terrible. The story about the boy who cuts off his finger is the worst piece of crap I've ever seen. That one wasn't even funny. Seriously, though, go rent it anyway if you want to laugh. Oh, and sidenote, Rob Zombie should be ashamed for promoting this. Bad Rob!

Nothing We Haven't Seen Before..........2005-02-05

...but with all that's out there, could such a thing actually exist? In my opinion, it's not a matter of whether or not it's been done (which it has), but rather how well it's done.
That said, there is a limit on how many times I can see, read, or hear the same story, and I was way past my limit on the ghost's revenge story before I saw "The Hitch," a film too bad to even laugh at. The actor playing the driver is pretty good, but the actress playing the hitch hiker is attrocious, although in her defense, the writer didn't give her much to work with.
Another one I'd like to pick on is "Shadows of the Dead." The problem here isn't so much that the virus-that-turns-people-into-zombies idea has been done too many times, but that it's a stupid idea to begin with.
My favorite in this batch is "Mr. Eryams," and that's not just because it has a mostly naked young woman rolling around on a bed (although that certainly doesn't hurt). It's a genuinely chilling ghost story. Yes, it is reminicent of "The Sixth Sense" (some of you are going to disagree with me on that, but I'm right, so bring it on), but without the bloated pomposity M. Night Shyamalan's films always seem to have.
"Disturbances" comes in second on my list, even if it is a tad predictable. I also liked "Song of the Dead," which, I must say, isn't scary by any stretch of the imagination, but is entertaining.
I'll surely earn myself some hatred for saying this, but "A Boy and His Finger" is nothing more than a one-note gag taken way too far, and the gag really isn't all that funny.
But even if it were, aren't these supposed to be horror movies?

Fangoria Blood Drive = Potential for all! Hooray! .......2004-09-02

Well, what I mean by that is that there are a few directors on here that have amazing potential and overall I think the Fangoria "Blood Drive" could become an amazing series of dvds to be released each year. Let me break down for you, straight to the point for each story:

The Hitch - Starts off interesting but very unoriginal and silly in it's horrible cliched tale of morality. Horrible acting.

A Boy and his Finger - Cute and clever, works great as a "breather" in between the more scarier short films. Funny yet creepy story about a boy who keeps his finger as a pet.

Inside - This is where things start to get really really good. This short films is really frightening and well done, has incredibly stylish editing and photography. Not very straightforward but that helps the story if anything.

Shadow of the Dead - In my own opinion the best short film on here. Great acting, great effects, amazing sense of atmosphere and did I mention it actually scared me? A strange take on a zombie-ridden world that is completely devoid of silliness and campiness.

Mr. Eryams - This one is good as well but moreso for acting and dialogue. Pretty stylish and the colours are reminiscent of "Suspiria" but overall doesn't compete with the past two entries.

Disturbance - Again, somewhat interesting and stylish piece with no dialogue but does not stand up in comparison the last three entries.

Song of the Dead - Shortest one of them all, funny and tongue-in-the-cheek, but please we've all seen a musical/horror film, it's been done. Back to the drawing board chaps.

Overall, it's worth getting this dvd just for the middle three films. Especially if you are a HUGE horror fan like myself and you want to get into filmmaking becaues it gives you an idea of what you can do with a low budget. This is great and I hope they come out with better ones each other!

Not bad.......2004-09-01

Well, not bad for film students. You can tell that all of these people put a lot of effort into their films with varying results. However, filmmaking is not the Special Olympics, and I can't see any justification in a price over 10 dollars since god knows StarLog/Fangoria isn't paying anybody one red cent in royalties. I also think this DVD was a little bit mis-billed. Rob Zombie's only appearant involvement was to show up in the DVD menus for about 60 seconds of blurb-level "ignore the man behind the curtain" discourse. Some of the special features were actually interesting, but again not sufficient compensation in consideration of the price.

Not bad, but then not particularly good, either.
