Just wanted to write a few lines on each segment in this anthology. I've just seen it and boy was I blown away by the quality that I've yet to see in most recent horror anthologies.
Story 1: It's called "3:00 am" and revolves around a young woman that receives odd calls in the middle of the night. This one highly benefits from atmosphere, sound and cinematography. I have to admit I jumped a few times.
Story 2: It's called "Edward" and focuses on a boy suffering from mental health issues. This one is well written and acted perfectly by it's two leading men.
Story 3: Arguably my favorite segment, it's called "The Quiet" and centers around a young deaf girl on her way home from school one day and the nightmare she endures. Lavish cinematography and well structured sound design elevate an already remarkable piece.
Story 4: Possibly the most disturbing, it's called "Merry Little Christmas" and showcases some award worthy special effects to say the least. It's about a mother and daughter facing demons brought on by an abusive father.
Story 5: The final story is called "The Deviant One" and it's about a man that uses religion to excuse his sick and depraved behavior. Shot in B&W, with no dialogue it's ambitious and worthy closure to an excellent anthology.
Highly recommended to horror fans, especially anthology junkies. This one is at the top of it's genre game! 10/10
