If you don't get what they are going for, I don't know know what to tell you. Perhaps not everyone's cup of tea, but I just loved it. Great stories, Great acting, Great cheap special effects.
I don't usually write reviews for any movie but I had to write this one. This is the worst movie I've ever seen in my entire lifetime. I'm not sure why some people are giving it 5 or more stars ; For me, this was the worst experience ever. I'd rather watch a dog bark for 2 hours rather than this crap. I really suggest everybody to avoid this one and watch something better. New characters are introduced everytime and no storyline is there at all. Even highschool kids can direct a better movie than this. I trusted those high rated reviews and watched the movie and I'm sure they've never seen any movie except from this in their entire life.
A fun and daring collection of darkly comedic horror shorts. The comedy is at least amusing when not laugh-out-loud funny or clever, which it is often enough anyway. Some bits are pretty gory, so this isn't for the squeamish. I liked this and I'll watch it again.
Chapter 1 (Killer Kart): Bad things happen to a closing shift crew at a supermarket.
Chapter 2: (Horrific) A farmer has a run-in with a chupacabra.
Chapter 3: ('til death) 4 unhappily married men face unexpected consequences after offing their wives in a pact reminiscent of Strangers On A Train.
Chapter 4: (Death Metal) An untalented musician is handed down a guitar with a dark heritage and immediately breaks the rules for its ownership.
Chapter 5: (Lunch Ladies) Best friends and downtrodden cafeteria chefs Seretta and Louanne a passion for cooking and a burning love of Johnny Depp do what it takes to keep their jobs when they have a chance to meet their hero.
Chapter 6: (Bitten) In a reversal from the normal werewolf concept, a dog takes human form one night when the moon is full.
Chapter 7 (born again): A group of Satanists use one of their members' pregnancy to try to birth Satan into the world.

Collections of shorts by different directors can vary wildly but this is relatively even. Stories about a chupacabra and two school meal cooks are probably the weakest, the latter out staying its welcome to drag out a predictable twist.
A story of an inanimate object coming to life is fun, and should appeal to anyone who enjoyed Rubber (2010) as the two have a similar feel. Another sketch is reminiscent of Pick of Destiny (2006), while others have the feel of American Werewolf in London (1981) and Life After Beth (2014) or Nina Forever (2015).
That's it, in a nutshell. Nothing particularly innovative, but fun to tick along with. The first and last sketches are my favourites but I felt the film could have been better with a connecting thread, like a crypt keeper, a summer camp counsellor or deranged psychiatrist to smooth the transitions. Even just a Twilight Zone (1983) twist to link those bookend stories.

I truly enjoyed this and was entertained enough I didnt leave my seat! Would definitely recommend it and or watch again myself. Had some good laughs and it was easily entertaining. Had some great gore to it as well.
