A Brazilian independent horror B-movie in eight disconnected segments. Outcome is irregular, with short films that would be rated very differently. The first segment, "Nobody", is an amateurish slasher with a shallow social background. The second, "The hand", is creepier, with sort of sci-fi gore, but also more stylish than well written. The third, "Woman Ltd.", a spoof of Frankenstein, is a nice vintage (80's or 90's) satire (although it could be improved in its technical development) on capitalist sexist society. The fourth segment, "Under thunder, rain or storm", brings an unconvincing version of the three hags from "Macbeth" in one more flimsy exploitation. The fifth short film, "The beloved", has an interesting visual, but text and acting are far from good. The sixth segment, "Invisible", has a clever fantastic approach on our unfair social structure and also dealing with family issues. The seventh segment, "Seven minutes to midnight", directed by the producer of this compilation, has a good technical execution (filmmaking, edition, atmosphere...) and fits classically horror genre, being the second best of these short films in my opinion. The last segment, "Apostle", is by far the best one, in an original and well filmed/acted/edited/written fantastic slasher topsy-turvy version of the last supper.
Sepparatedly, I would rate the eight short films this way:
Nobody: 4
The hand: 6
Woman Ltd.: 7
Under thunder, rain or storm: 4.5
The beloved: 5
Invisible: 7
Seven minutes to midnight: 7.5
Apostle: 8.
