"From the depths of four twisted minds."

Boxlist takeOtherworldly and original: a morally murky horror comedy, fast rather than slow-burning. Best if you like surprises over comfort.

Synopsis

The first segment features an animated mummy stalking selected student victims; the second tale tells the story of a "cat from hell" who cannot be killed and leaves a trail of victims behind it; the third story is about a man who witnesses a bizarre killing and promises never to tell what he saw and the "in-between" bit is the story of a woman preparing to cook her newspaper boy for supper.
