Review of Screamtime (1983) by Paul J — 03 Dec 2012
An anthology film about some guy who steals some video nasties from a rental store. He rushes home to watch them with his friends (a little gratuitous nudity right off the bat but the rest of the film is very tame).
We then get to see three short films. The first is a total waste of time - completely ridiculous dealing with Punch and Judy. However, the second episode is actually excellent. It's a creepy ghost story with a good story and some genuinely frightening moments.
The final episode is a lame and cheap attempt at creating a poltergeist-like experience. All in all, Screamtime is a failure, but the middle chapter is the only saving grace. If you see the film just skip to the middle.
