Featured reviews
And "Galaxy of Horrors" is exactly that - like almost every other horror anthology out there. The eight segments and the narrative that ties them together were of various degrees of production value, entertainment value and such. Of course they were. It would be silly to say otherwise. Some of the segments were good and watchable, while others were just mediocre, bland or pointless. So this is definitely a bag of mixed goodies.
While "Galaxy of Horrors" was watchable, it was not an outstanding or memorable anthology. In fact, I doubt I will even remember it in about a week's time or so. There are far better and way more enjoyable - and memorable - horror anthologies out there, if you enjoy horror anthologies. Some of the stories were good, others were bland.
The acting in the anthology was also of a very varied degree. Some acting performances were good, some were dubious, some were bland, but I will not say that anyone was outright bad or poor.
Visually then "Galaxy of Horrors" was surprisingly good. There were a good display of effects, but of course, some segments fared better than others. The most outstanding here was the "Entity" segment.
Ultimately then "Galaxy of Horrors" was just another run-of-the-mill horror anthology, for better or worse. So you basically know what you are getting here before sitting down to watch "Galaxy of Horrors", if you opt to read the synopsis or check IMDb first.
My rating of the 2017 anthology "Galaxy of Horrors" lands on a less than mediocre four out of ten stars.
So, "Galaxy of Horrors" unashamedly quotes its inspirations (50 years and counting of sci-fi) and is a work of love from semi-pro to pro teams which blends the most gruesome to the most beautiful parts of the Sci-fi/horror score, from the most clichéd to the wittiest. If you like this kind of experimental project with a touch of risk, get aboard. Not a waste of time (to me) to discover new talents.
Although I didn't "get" one or two of the pieces, it is all so well done that it kept me highly entertained. Acting, direction, lightning, set design...it is all really good - none of it feels cheap or amateurish.
This won't win any awards, but it's fun. Watch it. I think you'll be surprised.
PS: Don't let the cheap and nasty cover art put you off!
The first story (with the naked chick) and the last story are the best ones. The first one is about some kind of zombies with some nasty shots but it's the last one that has it all. Good story because you can't see what's coming. And it's gory indeed.
Other stories do have their moments but lack of suspense sometimes. Still, the effects used are really well done. But the script isn't always sublime, for example the Italian entry isn't worth seeing.
Just above mediocre.
