Scary Tales

Despite its bland title, Scary Tales is pretty much like the legendary "Who Killed Captain Alex" (except it's an American horror film) in the sense that the people involved merely wanted to entertain their (non-existent) audience and have a good time doing so.

Now obviously this film isn't the least bit scary and the acting is awful, but at times it's smartly written and the special effects for a no-budget film are impressive for what they are. Most importantly though, it's entertaining and adorable to watch a group of friends make their own version of "Tales From the Crypt" or "Creepshow", therefore making it worthy of your time and money.

My only complaint is that the first and last segments overstay their welcome a bit, and the interludes with the "host" aren't as long as they should be, but all in all, a good z-grade film. Also, the AGFA/Bleeding Skull blu-ray comes with the directors' follow-up film "Darkest Soul" as a bonus!

Support this film and make it the next "Captain Alex"!
