I love Horror Anthologies.
This is Black History Month.
I'm out of Tales from the Hood Films, so let's do this!
She's warned about going in it, but will she listen?
In 'Brand of Evil,' a man must make a choice between profit and people.
When he gets paid, will everyone else suffer?!?
In 'Bride Before You,' a post-Reconstruction household is rocked by a secret that refuses to stay quiet behind the walls.
Will the truth come out while anyone of them is alive to tell it?
In 'Fugue State,' a man investigates a local Church while strange attacks are going on.
These two things are obviously related, but will they make the connection?
In 'Daddy,' a man who has recently married a woman with a young child of her own struggles to do his best.
Can he find the power he needs?
Lastly, we have 'Sundown.'
A bunch of Campaigners end up in a small Town that doesn't want them to stay after dark.
When they have to, what happens?
To find out, stream it now!

A fun, if uneven collection of Horror Shorts.
That's always the case with these, isn't it? Unless it is ones by a singular team- like, say, Creepshow- there's bound to be a variety in quality and tone.
Some of them- like The Lake and Brand of Evil- have not so subtle Themes to discuss.
Others- like Fugue State- try to muddy things a bit.
Thankfully, we have some more simple ones- like Sundown- which just take a real concept- Sundown Towns- and put a good, Horror spin on them.
The ones that tried to be vague and, to be honest, a bit preachy, were not my favorites.
That said, none of them were outright bad or disgusting.
That said, none of them were outright bad or disgusting.
Hell, even ones that I was mixed on, like Fugue State, have their obvious upsides...
A bunch of Tales that will make you shriek and also make you think. The best tales can do both...and many of these only do one OR the other.
