This is a website that, I guess, collects horror short films. And maybe produces some. I'm really not clear on how many are created specifically by/for this site, and how many are just acquired by it. In any event, there have been some anthology films created by the site, made up of a bunch of short films. Some of them may have first been shown individually on this site, and some have been show elsewhere before appearing here. (And maybe some appeared here first, but later appeared elsewhere, either individually or as part of other anthologies.) The first two anthology films were both released in 2015 (volume 1 on Amazon and volume 2 on Hulu). There was another anthology film released on Amazon in 2018, called "Dark, Deadly & Dreadful." And... I guess there are some shorts that appear on the site, which as far as I know haven't yet been included in any anthologies, but they may be in the future. Time will tell.
(Shorts are listed in the order they appear within the anthology films. Unanthologized shorts are listed alphabetically.)
A woman is surprised to find she is not alone in a restroom. That's all I want to say.
Cannibalism is involved.
I... don't even know what to say. I guess it's kind of funny... but mostly just wrong.
This is something I must have seen on Crypt TV sometime prior to seeing it on Amazon, as part of this anthology. But the first time I saw it, I didn't bother writing a review, because I didn't really care much about it. And I still don't, though I do think it ends up being slightly better than I remembered. Anyway... there's a really creepy house that a realtor has to try to clean up before new tenants move in. It's basically an impossible job.
This is just weird as fuck. And I don't know what to say about it.
This is also pretty weird. A writer has a little octopus ragdoll named Gill, who talks to him. And um, the writer is afraid of a octopus man, and plans to kill him. And um... I'm pretty sure the writer is insane.
Set mostly during World War II, in Japan. A Chinese girl named Wei wakes up in a cage, from which she soon escapes. But... things are very confusing, and she later finds herself in a hospital. She doesn't know who she is or why she's there. There's a doctor and a nurse, who don't provide any answers. And scenes alternate between different times and places, and it all gets very, very weird. Eventually it seems to be more about the doctor than about Wei. And... I don't know what else to say. It's just really freaky. And the scariest part is that it's based on real history.
I originally saw it on "Fun Size Horror", but it was later released on YouTube by Alter, in 2021. (I watched it there in 2023.)
A group of friends try to contact a spirit with a ouija board, but it turns out the spirit that responds isn't a very good speller. It's a totally redonk film, but fairly amusing. I originally saw it on "Fun Size Horror", but it was later released on Alter in 2022.
There's a fake priest called Father Lance (Sam Jaeger, from Parenthood), who stars in a popular web show called "The Cleansing Hour," in which he supposedly exorcises demons from people. The producer of the show is a guy named Drew (Neil Grayston, from Eureka). The episode seen in this film has a young woman named Heather (Heather Morris, from Glee), playing a possession victim named "Sabrina." While the show is being streamed live, we see some of the people in different places who are watching it. However... an actual demon takes possession of Heather, so Drew and Lance just have to roll with it, and of course Lance can't break character. Anyway, the film has a pretty effective mix of humor and genuine horror. And the way it ends is pretty amazing, so I think it was a good choice for the final short in the anthology film.
