A family of three (Pam Renall, J. Giordano, Bailey Sorrel) is kidnapped
by an obvious psychopath driving them to their final destination (both
literally and figuratively) and telling some terror tales along the way
...
- By Proxy: Susan McKay (Lynn Lowry) had to witness her 10 year
old son Trevor (Ben Feldman) kill himself blowing his brains out,
something that of course left her emotionally scarred. And then a
demon (Matt Block) shows up to show her the darker sides of her story,
and how she might be to blame about it all ...
- Radical Video: A serialkiller, the Sledgehammer (Jonathan
Tiersten) is roaming the town, and somehow it all has to do with the
local videostore run by Blaine (Ben Hilzer) and Tiffany (Miranda
Byers), as the killings are all played onto the tapes they rent out.
Genre fave Laurene Landon plays the mother of a key suspect.
- Epidemic: Ever since Pastor James (Thomas Fears) has killed
his wife, he has been in police custody, as the fact that she was in
fact possessed never counted - until a epidemic of possession spreads
all around the globe, and now Sister Agnes (Irene Leonard) sets the
pastor free as he seems to be the only one who might be able to stop
it - but the pastor has fallen from grace, and the fact that his
daughter (Paige Awtrey) is possessed as well doesn't really help him
find resolve.
Horror legends Felissa Rose and Ari Lehman play a witch and a
witchhunter in a flashback scene in this one, Helene Udy a news
anchor.
Because of its rather stellar cast of horror veterans, this movie has
been dubbed "The Expendables of horror" - and
frankly, the names assembled in this movie alone are enough to water the
mouth of any horror fan ... but fortunately, Terror Tales has more
to offer than just a stellar cast, it is a fun anthology that covers a
large amount of subgenres in its four stories (also counting the
wraparound here) and delivers all the tension, suspense and violence one
would expect, with dashes of the macabre and even irony attached
throughout, and a bunch of solid scripts, a genre savvy direction, and of
course a killer cast see to it that horror fans definitely won't be
disappointed.
