12 horror stories, somehow related to the zodiac signs:
- Aries: The teambuilding weekend of a company goes horribly
wrong when a were-creature (possibly sheep or ram) attacks the group
and everybody forgot to bring silver ...
- Taurus: When she (Maria Lee Metheringham) flirted online, she
had no idea the guy is a psychopath with hi-tech equipment to follow
her every move. And he's as jealous as he's homicidal, too ...
- Gemini: There are two souls in her (Dani Thompson) body, one
that longs for her boyfriend (Pete Moulam) to finally propose to her -
and one that has something much more sinister in mind ...
- Cancer: A woman is seeking advice from an astrologer - but
what's really tearing her apart isn't written in the stars ...
- Leo: A washed up horror hasbeen (Tony Mardon) whose greatest
success back in the 1980s was his starring turn in Brian the Lion,
is so enraged that the movie gets a remake that he prepares to lash
out ...
- Virgo: Young Virginia is so obsessed with her imaginary
friend that her parents are worried and ask for outside help. But
maybe that friend isn't that imaginary after all ...
- Libra: A woman gets a beauty makeover that's simply out of
this world. Unfortunately, there's a price to pay for this ...
- Scorpio: What if two psycho killers (Jen and Sylvia Soska)
run into each other on the prowl?
- Sagittarius: In the world of contract killers, it's not
always easy to see who's the hunter and who's the prey ...
- Capricorn: A man (Jonny Emmett) leaves his family at
Christmas in order to keep them safe. But does he know what he's
running from?
- Aquarius: Kyle (Andre Harrison) thinks he has killed his
girlfriend Anna (Annie Knox) in what started as a harmless
altercation. But there's more to her than meets the eye ...
- Pisces: Barry (Jack Glanville) gets increasingly worried
about his wife Fiona's (Gemma Louise Troughton) attachment to her
fish. And he has every right to be, because there's soething wrong
with the fish, too - dangerously wrong!

A very nice collection of horror shorts from a wide array of British
genre directors - and of course, due to the film's rather eclectic mix of
filmmakers, the shorts vary wildly in terms of style, approach and
quality, but there are no actual duds in this one, they're all good fun on
one level or the other. And that's what really makes a good anthology, it
keeps surprising its audience from the first segment to the last, and if
one wasn't exactly your cup of tea, the next will almost certainly make up
for it, and there's always something new to discover. So if you're at all
into horror, you will find yourself liking this one quite a bit.
