An insomniac (Matthew Olivo) watches a horror anthology and does what
people do when they watch horror anthologies, like smoking a joint or
ordering pizza. And while he does all that, 5 stories unfold in front of him:
- The Exterminator: In a future USA, the population is kept at
300 million sharp, and any overhead is just exterminated. One day, the
boss (Chuck Williams) of the extermination office scolds one of his
employees (Kevin Bangos) for not delivering the list of people to
exterminate in such a mean manner that the employee sees to it that
his boss's name lands on the extermination list the very next day - ouch!
- Dead Letters: Writer Ash (Dan Lookabill) has never come to
terms with the death of his wife Ethyl (Devorah Lynne Dishington),
especially because he caught her making out with his own agent (Tyler
Wolfe). Then though he somehow gets hold of a magic typewriter that
makes all the things he's writing happen in real life - and thus he
brings Ethyl back. Only his agent sees behind the facade, and instead
of the live Ethyl Ash sees, he sees only her decayed corpse ...
- Night Scream: Joey (Aaron Manning) takes his friends on a
trip to the country - to use them as bait to capture his own vampire
sister (Natalee Phillips).
- The Range: The old West: Meet all sorts of folks roaming the
range, including cowboys, Indians, outlaws, the law, and a couple from
the East that has been robbed of almost everything. Oh yeah, and then there
are zombies.
- Turnout: A madman (Steven Richards) slaughters a couple
(Elias Cecil, Chani Nicolas) on a camping trip but is in turn
slaughtered by their friend (Emilee Wilson) - who then thinks about
taking up slaughtering people full-time.
The anthology movie is over, but now our insomniac is told that he will
meet his death ... and he is slaughtered in no time.
At best so-so anthology movies, that might feature a few fairly good
ideas but isn't too good in execution, and apart from that the stories
vary way too much in genre, in quality and in approach from one another to
really form a coherent whole - and thus the movie is little more than
brainless entertainment, not really bad, but also not really worth seeing.
