Tom Holland's Twisted Tales

You'll recognise some of these Twisted Tales from other Anthology series. I won't say which ones, but what I like about Tom Holland's Twisted Tales, is the modern 'spin' it puts across - like instead of walking in the shoes of the dead you now 'live' in the 'Tablet' of the dead.

Some solid stories and some none solid ones but this still worth the watch if you like short stories like Creepshow.

I have loved anthologies for a long time and have seen lots but this was SO BAD! You can check my other reviews and see I have no issue with low budget movies and underground stuff so when I say I could not make it through this.....I got to the Bite segment and gave up. The Amber Benson segment was awful, the one with Danielle Harris and William Forsythe was okay and the Ray Wise one was good but the actors are all of a high calibre. No offense to Amber Benson's acting but it wasn't strong enough to save her segment.

How the guy who made my beloved Childs Play and Fright Night could also be responsible for this unmitigated drivel I do not know.

So sorry

I recently watched the horror anthology Tom Holland's Twisted Tales (2014) on Tubi. This 2-hour and 24-minute collection of short stories dives into cults, bombings, werewolves, hauntings, slashers, and everything in between.

Written and directed entirely by Tom Holland (Child's Play), the film features a surprising cast, including William Forsythe (Raising Arizona), Danielle Harris (Halloween 4), Noah Hathaway (Atreyu from The NeverEnding Story), Ray Wise (Twin Peaks), and Bonnie Piesse (Star Wars: Attack of the Clones & Revenge of the Sith).

Like most anthologies, the stories are hit or miss, but it's impressive that Holland tackled every segment himself. There are some fun cameos and unexpected casting choices that keep things interesting. The horror elements are inconsistent-though I did enjoy a solid werewolf transformation. Unfortunately, the CGI blood and gore were weak and often pulled me out of the moment, while some practical stab sequences worked much better. The bomb storyline was entertaining, but the pentagram segment had me cringing for the wrong reasons.

In conclusion, Tom Holland's Twisted Tales is a below-average anthology that only warrants a watch if you're out of better options. I'd give it a 4/10.

Don't get it twisted (excuse the pun), but this is nowhere near the best anthologies that are out there. But if you watch this as a series of shorts that probably were made for TV (didn't check, how and why Tom Holland produced these), you might actually be able to enjoy them. There is a plethora of great actors in this (just read the cast list and you'll be surprised), especially from the Horror genre.

Some segments seem more than cheaply made and the acting might not be what you'd expect from some. Even the twists are sometimes very foreseeable. I've been accused before of being too kind and always trying to see positive aspects in movies. So through all the downfalls (some of which I've touched upon), I still think this can be fun - if you let it
