Creepypasta

Gave it 2 stars only because it's horror related. Movie was absolutely terrible and didn't even have the best creepypasta stories. I would have included shorter versions of the channel Zero adaptations and many others. These anthologies have gone completely down hill since the original VHS series and the ABCs of Death. I thought that they would get better over time, but now I realize that the lower budget and starved artists bring so much more to the table than these over produced and sickeningly predictable short films. Give me more edge, give me more originality, give me a movie to tell friends about!

I have been a fan of internet horror stories for years and the prospect of a movie based on the stories i grew up with seemed to be interesting. Where it falls flat is that none of the films featured here relate to any popular or under the radar story on the Creepypasta site.

To call this a Creepypasta movie is a genuine insult to not only the viewer but authors of internet horror that have made master pieces compared to this hot garbage. While the movie has two cameos from memorable characters from Creepypasta the have nothing to due with the plot of the film and are only there for the audience to point at the screen and mention that is a character from Creepypasta.

Overall, a waste of time and poor marketing by using a memorable name in horror to release something unrelated and disappoint fans looking for their nostalgia to be shown on screen.

What if we sat a thousand monkeys at a thousand typewriters and waited for them to churn out something vaguely similar to VHS? This is it. The framing device is similar. The segments are for people who think the ones in ABCs of Death are too nuanced and bloated. There is nothing good about this movie. I have watched more terrible anthology horror than almost anyone and will continue to make the same terrible error in judgment over and over but this really should be my rock bottom. Spare yourself. Go watch Creepshow or Cat's Eye or Bodybags or Southbound. Watching any of those for the 10th time will be orders of magnitude more satisfying.

It's disappointing when adaptations like this stray from the essence of classic creepypastas. There's already a GREAT anthology of creepypastas and it's called Channel Zero. The original stories had intricate narratives and psychological depth so I have no idea why someone (several someones) thought they could use the namesake Creepypasta for something as dull as video after video of overcooked jumpscares and dragging victims into the darkness. Maybe one or two of the vignettes was fine (the flashlight one comes to mind) but even then I would not recommend this to anyone who came for the pasta. I don't think a single one of these was based on a real classic creepy pasta. If they really wanted to use "Creepypasta" they really should have leaned the other way and made "who was phone" and stories of that ilk.

Disjointed, horribly directed, and the horrors/jumpscares are more suited for a kid's funhouse. Just don't waste your time. I DNF after 45 mins. The pastas weren't even recognizable pastas. It was obscThey are boring ones they found in the junkyard of Reddit and somehow didn't realize they belonged there. I cannot fathom how anyone writes, produces, and stands by this kind of trash. This isn't even a B movie. It's a full-on F. Too dark, too quiet, no conjoining storyline but we keep coming back to one strung-out guy who we care nothing about because no attachment is ever formed between the viewer and any of the characters. This film just plain sucks.
