Review of Scary or Die (2012) by Archibald T — 15 Feb 2013

Horror Anthologies are slowly making a comeback nowadays. With films like 'The Theater Bizarre', 'VHS', 'Little Deaths', 'The ABC's of Death' and even the upcoming 'S-VHS', horrific tales of the macabre are being brought back to the screen in all it's bloody glory! In Scary or Die, another such horror anthology, we're presented with 5 grueling stories. From Zombies, to Killer Clowns, to Vampires, these are such stories:

The Crossing:

The first starts with two rednecks and a whore who decide to hang out near the border to scare illegal mexicans when they try to come over. Unfortunately these mexicans are bloodthirsty zombies!

TaeJung's Lament:

The second one reminded me of the film 'Audition'. A lonely asian man who lost his wife (who now haunts him) tries to love again, but his search for love leads him to a beautiful woman with a thirst for blood! This one was very good.

RE-Membered:

The third one could have easily come from an episode of 'Tales from the Crypt'. It deals with a dirty cop who recently killed a necromancer, chopped him up and put him in the back of his trunk. You just know it's going to end badly for him since it's a freakin' necromancer. This one was the shortest and probably the least interesting.

Clowned:

The forth one is the best one of all! While preparing for his little brother's birthday party, Emmett gets bitten by the Clown, Fucko, who was suppose to perform at the party. Suddenly, Emmett begins to go through changes as a result. He slowly transforms into a sadistic, murderous clown himself. This one was quite creepy.

Lover Come Back:

The fifth, and last, one explains the rotting hand that keeps clicking on these stories from their computer. A young woman seeks revenge against the man that she thought that loved her, but instead decided to kill her. She narrates her story while on her way to kill him. This one was short and sweet.

Overall, a nicely done piece of horror stories.
