Immortal

Anthology horror. Not that well written, mostly just stories leading up to an often predictable "gotcha" or "suprise" twist and not plot-driven enough to bother follow the narrative any further than that to explore what happens, but suprisingly alright, mostly due to a reliance on character instead of gore and a pretty good cast turning in strong performances. Dylan Baker is the bright spot of the first and worst of the four stories; Samm Levine turns in the most solid acting I think I've ever seen from him; and Tony Todd ("Candyman", I've seen him a million times but never caught his name) turns in a touching performance as the husband of a terminally ill woman. Each story is slightly better than the last; overall I actually liked it.

Probably worth six stars, but I'll give it an extra bonus star for rising above the source material, and my expectations of this kind of movie, so well.
