Actor Cal (Deane Sullivan) badly fucks up a casting for a role he desparately tried to get - so to even the odds a bit he has his friend (Holden Andrews) put a black magic spell on the competition. And thus ...

• There's Zander (Matt Fowler), who weirdly enough turned into a black person (Jamal Quezaire) on his way home, on a night when the police's looking for a black assailant - and we all know of course that "no racial profiling" only applies to whites ...
• There's Scott (Nick Bandera), who's driven nuts when he inexplicably loses his voice.
• There's Jason (Eric Pierce), who might have picked up a witch (Susan Stangl) when driving home with his best pal (Holden Andrews).
• Surfer dude and small-time weed merchant Kush (Rob Healy) somehow attracts a sea monster nobody knew even existed that somehow turns him into one of its own kind.
• Stoned out of his mind kid party clown-for-hire Bob (Josh Eichenbaum) fittingly enough finds himself facing a truly creepy clown.

Now the curses do their job - but who's to say the last joke isn't on Cal?

Dead List is basically an enjoyable anthology movie that combines several shorts of the Twilight Zone variety - what with the macabre plots and twist endings - to something that's actually coherent as a whole ... and lots of fun to watch, not only but especially for genre fans, as it covers a wide variety of subgenres and while doing so never takes itself too seriously while still creating tension and atmosphere in all the right places, and setting all the jump scares right. And in tune with the light-footed directorial approach, the cast seems to be in on the joke while still not playing it for laughs.

Very entertaining indeed.
