Warning: Spoilers
First story: Little Red Riding in the Hood.

Opening montage: She scares away monsters who apparently she wants to play with, and then has sex naked with some evil guy, then is blessed by Jesus! End montage...wait! It was all just a dream. Wild dream. Except for the montage, which seemed interesting but this segment was not really that exciting. I mean, she lives at her mother's house and goes to a psychic who says she's cursed by a wolf then she finds her grandmother torn to shreds her ex trying to get money from her but then he gets shot by an FBI agent from earlier who was hitting on her, and he turns out to be a werewolf and a minute later he's dead. Sounds eventful but went nowhere. I mean, the dream in the beginning was the best part and it only lasted a minute but had a lot in it.

Second story: The Boy Who Cried Vamp

This starts off boring except for the girl dancing in that silver outfit. So this guy has been arrested for murder, and then it shows the girl dancing, and then he and this other girl have a tiff, and then he wakes up at home. I liked his mother: she was no nonsense. Then it gets more boring with him trying to get his music career going of "Goth Hop" like "Hip Hop". Then he has sex with a vampire, a hot vampire. Then it gets boring again.

Third story: Spare Parts

I have no idea about this one. It's like there's a lot going on but then doesn't seem as anything is going on. It starts the first ten or so minutes introducing varying characters which normally would be fine but the first two stories were uninventive and short. You have two cops they introduce (who seem poor at their job) which one of them is married to a teacher at a church. Then you have this older married man who's into his car or cars in general, and then a scientist who gets his funding taken away and becomes mad and turns his brother into a clown masked murderer seeking revenge! And that's it.

Then comedy for the storytellers. It was so anticlimactic.

Production value wasn't that bad. Some of the actors could actually act (like the character "Ángel" from the third story) but most others couldn't act very well. The direction wasn't too bad, I think the script is what killed it for me. There's action and horror and gore but not when needed and most scenes just drag forever.

Overall, not horrible but could have been way better especially since they actually seemed to put some effort into it.
