Frightvision

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.

I have to admit that I harbored zero expectations to the 2020 horror anthology "Frightvision" as I sat down to watch it here in 2025. I happened to stumble upon it by random chance, and it looked cheesy enough to make me stop and take notice. And the fact that it was a movie that I hadn't already seen, then of course I opted to give it a fair chance.

Writers Selena D., Rick Jermain, Rebecca Rinehart, Mike Trebilcock and John Ward didn't exactly put together a script for the various segments that proved particular enjoyable.

This is what happens when a group of friends get together after one of them uttered "guys, do you remember Elvira Mistress of the Dark? Wouldn't it be cool to make a movie like that?", and someone ventures into their parents basement to dig out an old VHS video camera. And instead of Elvira, we got Dr. Boobenstein.

The acting performances in "Frightvision" were pretty amateurish. Needless to say that I was not familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list.

The special effects in the movie were laughably bad. The early 1990s computer games were even better than this.

Do yourself a favor and don't waste 103 minutes on this movie. Some of us suffered through this ordeal, literally, so you don't have to; you're quite welcome.

My rating of directors Selena D., Rebecca Rinehart, Mike Trebilcock, Brad Twigg and John Ward's 2020 horror anthology lands on a generous one out of ten stars.

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

Here we go again, some more uploaded garbage! The acting is bad, the picture is bad, and the script is bad. So overall, this is ultimately one of the worst films ever, it's pathetic. It's as if the directors told the so called actors, just say whatever you want, it doesn't matter the movie is going to suck anyway! And what the hell is up with the sound?! I had to fast forward through most of it, and yes, it was just as bad from beginning to end. Some 5th graders could have done a better job. Wait, was this actually supposed to be a horror film or a comedy? The only horror is the movie itself!!

Normie Review: Go away. This movie isn't for you. Don't leave a review.

Weirdo Review (for those of us who've liked at least one Tromaville or Chris Seaver movie): I like micro-budget, home-made movies when they're fun to watch and made with effort and love. This anthology had a pretty solid first story -- I liked the concept and it was kinda fun. However, the second story was so bad - like really the worst of the worst with none of the fun micro-budget charm we look for in these type movies - that I basically ran out of patience, so when the third story was lackluster, I just quit and found something else to watch. I like to support low-low-low-budget movies, but this one isn't worth your time past the first story.
