Review of Little Deaths (2010) by Keith T — 28 Feb 2011
As the title suggests, this is an anthology of horror stories with a bit of a kinky side. There are 3 stories here, all of them revolving around sex in some way (some in more disturbing ways than others). There are some genuinely shocking moments in there (with more willies and fluid flying around than you'll likely be used to outside of 'specialist' cinema), and each story works quite nicely as a little miniature dose of nastiness.
Of the three, 'Bitch' has the best pay-off, although it does dither a little getting there. 'House & Home' is full of tension and unpleasantness until the home stretch, which seems a little generic given how grimy and seedy an atmosphere it's managed to develop. The wonderfully titled 'Mutant Tool' is probably going to be the most talked about portion, but to say why would really spoil the fun. It's...interesting.
And that kind of sums the movie up, each story is interesting without really blowing your socks off, but it's such a refreshing format that none of the tales outstay their welcome. It would be nice to see more themed anthologies like this.
