This curious compilation of global horror shorts features eight stories each from different directors but produced by Tim League and Ant Timpson, the producers of The ABCs of Death. While there is no linking story on offer here but, unusually for a horror anthology, the stories are thematically linked, focusing on […]
Nighmare Cinema is a 2018 five part portmanteau which mixes up a whole heap of classic horror tropes into a two hour anthology with each part having a separate writer and director. That’s pretty much the Creepshow formula right there and so we were excited to check this one out […]
It’s been a while since we’ve posted anything but we’ve just finally gotten around to watching V/H/S which is probably one of the best known modern horror anthologies. We did attempt it some three or four years ago but didn’t like the look of it but we’ve just had a […]
This one is a real treat for fans of horror, sci-fi and the most B of movies. Annihilator was a TV movie that showed up in 1986 to very little acclaim. This might be because it shamelessly ripped off The Terminator (it even includes Earl Boen who played Dr Silberman […]
When Ghost Stories hit cinemas in 2017 it was quite the surprise. Sure, there are always plenty of horror anthologies released every year (just look in our archive of reviews for them) but for one to be given a bit of a budget and an actual cinema release is pretty […]
“Karate Kid 3 is better than the first one? Shut the hell up, The ’80s Movie Club!” We’re not kidding. Karate Kid 3 is amazing and until recently was the best thing in the series. The wonderful, magnificent and utterly perfect Cobra Kai TV series has since taken the prize […]
All Hallow’s Eve is a 2013 anthology that is quite unusual in that all of it was written and directed by one person, Damien Leone, and while it is still a collection of shorts, having it one man behind it does give the film a little more consistency than the […]
This collection of Australian horror tales is very much a modern portmanteau in that it has wildly varying themes and a lot of stories to tell. Each tale has a different director who were all tasked with submitting a short that had a ‘blood’ theme. That’s not a very narrow […]
Zombthology is a three part horror anthology that was dumped into the genre back in 2008 and has somehow ended up on Amazon Instant Video. As the name suggests, the focus here is squarely on zombies but also on veteran scream queen Tiffany Shepis who features heavily in the film’s […]
It’s not easy being someone who grew up in the ’80s having to see all the stuff that the kids are into these days, so we know exactly how Peter Vincent must have felt when he said this line during his meeting with Charlie Brewster in Fright Night 1985 (the […]
Screamtime is a 1983 horror anthology that combines three English shorts with an American wraparound story. It’s a bizarre combination that feels tacked on at first but there’s a little more to this portmanteau than you might initially think. I’ve actually got some history with this film. In 1984 I […]
Galaxy of Horrors is a 2017 horror anthology and is another portmanteau package curated from short movies previously presented as part of the Little Terrors Festival. It follows on from the subject of our previous Portmanteau-a-go-go, Minutes Past Midnight.
