Review of The Theatre Bizarre (2011) by Al M — 29 Jul 2012
The omnibus, portmanteau, or anthology film (whatever term you prefer) has become a rare commodity in modern horror. Once a staple horror film format in the 60s, 70s, and early 80s, the genre has all but died out.
Along with the British film Little Deaths, The Theatre Bizarre seems to be attempting a resurrection of the genre in truly gruesome ways. While not as twisted as Little Deaths, The Theatre Bizarre still offers plenty of bizarre stories and brutal plotlines.
Strung together with a series of macabre tableaux with the iconic Udo Kier as the ringmaster/MC, the film will keep you surprised from one story to the next as it brings the omnibus film fully into the current horror era.
