Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

BA_Harrison The lame framing device for this mediocre anthology has an unseen person logging on to a website where they view five short, supposedly scary videos.In the first, The Crossing, trashy strumpet Connie (Hali Lula Hudson) accompanies rednecks Buck (Bill Oberst Jr.) and Keith (Shawn-Caulin Young) to the Mexican border where the guys have been murdering and burying immigrants in order to deter wetbacks from entering their country. But when Keith, who has been swilling foul-looking moonshine, stops to take a leak, his toxic urine soaks into the ground, bringing the pair's previous victims back from the dead as ravenous, vengeful zombies. Some enthusiastic blood-letting makes this tale fairly enjoyable, although the 'twist' at the very end is as old as the hills, ripped straight from Romero's classic Night of the Living Dead.Tale number two, Taejung's Lament, revolves around lonely widower Taejung (Charles Rahi Chun), who, having rescued mysterious young woman Min-ah (Alexandria Choi) from an attacker, is invited to a party the following week. When he gets there, Taejung discovers that the other guests are all vampires. Another moderately entertaining story, but the payoff is weak and predictable.Re-membered stars Christopher Darga as hit-man Sam Franks, who is driving down the freeway with the remains of a dismembered victim in his trunk when he hears strange noises coming from the back of his car. No prizes for guessing that this story ends with Sam meeting a grisly fate at the hands of his victim, who has somehow reassembled himself.The fourth and best story, Clowned, sees petty drug-dealer Emmett (Corbin Bleu) gradually transforming into a hideous clown after he is bitten by the creepy (and inappropriately named) entertainer at his younger brother's birthday party. Director Michael Emanuel drags his story out for far too long but at least offers some genuinely creepy imagery along the way, with Emmett as the clown being a particularly impressive sight—easily one of the more disturbing horror movie clowns that I have seen. The ending for this one is also pretty neat, displaying a delicious sense of black humour.In contrast, Lover Come Back, the final segment, is incredibly short, and tells of a woman whose voodoo amulet helps her to return from the dead to seek revenge on her murderous husband. It's executed with a fair amount of style, but isn't all that memorable.The film wraps up matters by revealing the person logged onto the website to be the dead woman from the final story, which doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

Leofwine_draca SCARY OR DIE is a low budget horror anthology with a few nods here and there to the likes of CREEPSHOW and its ilk. This one ploughs the same territory but is hardly on the same level as the older films, appearing very cheap and amateurish in places, but at least it's watchable and the old standby still works: if there's one story you particularly hate, you can rest assured that another one will replace it soon enough.The first tale is about Mexican zombies, and I think it's the strongest here: certainly it's the only one that manages a few genuine scares in the Romero mould. The second effort is about a Korean vampire, and it's weaker all round, with a very light story barely sustaining the scant running time and a too obvious twist in the tale. The third story is about a serial killer who dismembers his victims, and is probably the weakest here; there's so little story that a key scene ends up being repeated. The fourth story is about an evil clown who bites a man who finds himself also turning into a clown. It has a neat premise but goes on too long. The wraparound segment isn't worth mentioning.SCARY OR DIE knows that it isn't up to much in the scare department, so it throws in plenty of gore to make up to it. The acting ranges from poor to adequate, while the technical values are acceptable for what is a low budget genre production. Hardly the worst I've seen then but far from the best; this sits somewhere in the middle of the road.

mandyhawley I love horror anthologies, so maybe im biased. i try to watch every anthology that comes out and i usually enjoy them. However,, this was truly an entertaining film. I'm really surprised at the poor reviews and those who accused the staff of writing reviews. If you like tales from the darkside, these stories are very similar. The acting, stories, and spfx are all on the same par as that show. The stories are pg 13 level scary and fun to watch. I sometimes wonder what people expect from a low budget horror movie and this movie by FAR out does most indi horror out there just because it's watchable! If I had a complaint, it would be that the pace in some of the stories is a bit slow. I really think you can't review a low budget film the same way you would, say, Ironman. That said this movie is a strong 7 and would be an 8 if the pacing was a bit faster! Happy viewing!

clemmysl All of the films were decent, none were that great. My favorite was probably the vampire one, although I thought it seemed a bit confused. Why exactly was the protagonist seeing his dead wife as a ghost, when there really was no significance of it? I also thought it was interesting to repeatedly see the girl in the high heels walking, up until the last film where she is found to be the main character. The re-membered one was also solid, but I found it extremely dumb that the protagonist in that was one of the detectives in the clown one. I also enjoyed seeing Corbin Bleu as a clown (compliments to the makeup artists, not to the high school musical star). All in all, a somewhat decent film. 4 stars out of 10.
