This is one of my favorite horror anthologies, it's quite unique in that several different filmmakers were able to maintain the same tone throughout the entire film. One thing that I like about it is that it's never comical, it's never campy. It always brings the horror to the forefront. Not saying I don't like horror comedies but it's nice to find something strictly horror or at least in the thriller category.
My favorite is the 3rd one called The Quiet which I would classify as a horror thriller, it's not gory, it's all about the intensity of the situation in which our lead finds herself. It's also one that I believe can be interpreted in two different ways. The simple way, which is the cat and mouse scenario, and that the man that was supposed to pick her up from school is bad and had a sinister plan for the young deaf girl. Or scenario two, she thought it all up in her head using her dolls as disturbing imaginary to make sense in her own head and the man wasn't a threat at all he was just trying to collect her to take her home as "mum" requested but being deaf she simply got frightened and ran off into the woods and her own head. Thus her name being Alice could be a play on "Alice In Wonderland".
I enjoyed the 4th and 5th segments immensely with the 1st and 2nd being the weaker additions. Nevertheless all of these shorts are good to excellent. I am looking forward to volume 2.
