A collection of 21 tasty morsels! This anthology definitely does not lack flavor!
This film is high quality in sound, cinematography, lighting, and acting. However, where it falls short is in its reliance on exhausted tropes at times, and how some of the skits have weak story telling and lack that oomph at the end.
That said, there is such a wide variety in this set of shorts: comedy, psychological, slasher, thriller, and many other genres. They get more right than wrong with these shorts.
