Frightvision

A fun and entertaining lo-fi anthology. A good variety of subjects and lots of laughs.

I really enjoyed this anthology. As with most anthologies, some stories are better than others but even the weakest stories are still enjoyable. Good mix of humor and horror and worth a watch. The host defininantly has an Elvira feel which is never a bad thing.

Frightvision is a horror anthology that tries to blend horror and comedy, and doesn't really succeed with either one. This low budget anthology offers a variety of stories, some more sexually explicit than others but it's neither erotic nor entertaining. I found myself bored more often than not.

The acting is very low grade, painfully bad, which is fine, I can take campy acting, but this seems particularly bad, and it seems like it's a trend with a lot of modern low budget flicks where they're not even trying. The movie looks, and feels cheap. I had a hard time enjoying this one, really can't recommend it.

Horrible effects, bad acting, terrible stories.

They couldn't even get a set for their Elvira wannabe. She just sits in front of a curtain. She also can't pick a country for her accent.

Frightvision is an indie horror anthology.

It contains five tales. Some of them are better than others. Varying running times make some of the stories more interesting than others.

If I had to chose I would probably say that the first story was the best, then the fourth story. The other three, while alright, run a little bit long and slow down the pacing.

Rebecca Rhinehart is our host, Dr. Boobinstein. She introduces each tale. A lot of familiar faces show up including Julie Ann Prescott and Drew Marvick (Mudercise, XXX-Mas).

The DVD is released through Wild-Eye. I don't know about anyone else, but my copy has some audio missing during the fourth segment for a minute or two.

Anyway, Frightvision isn't my favorite horror anthology, but I'm sure indie horror fans will appreciate it.
