Notes

My quick rating - 4.7/10. I thought this flick brought a fresh approach to the anthology genre with a creative wrap-around story that ties everything together. Set on a stormy Christmas Eve, the film introduces us to a small-town female sheriff who is secretly a serial killer. Her night takes a strange turn when a mysterious woman visits and shares four bizarre tales. The standout segment for me was the ice cream truck story, despite being the shortest. It was incredibly well-executed and left a lasting impression. The effectiveness of this scene stood out among the others, showing how much impact a tightly crafted story can have even with limited screen time. The movie’s stronger elements are in its acting and cinematography. The performances are solid, with the cast bringing enough charm to keep you engaged, especially the sheriff and the mysterious visitor. Even Bill Moseley hops into one of the stories to add his unique touch. The cinematography, meanwhile, is professional and polished, making the movie feel much more elevated than your average low-budget horror. From the stormy atmosphere to the chilling interiors, the visuals add to the immersive experience. However, where the movie falls short is in its overall coherence—"the sense" of the film. While well-acted and professional-looking, the stories sometimes feel disconnected or don't make much sense, and the anthology format occasionally lacks a strong narrative flow. Still, there's a sprinkling of humor throughout, with moments like a “Ron Jeremy” cameo that had me doing a double-take and laughing out loud. It breaks up the tension, but not always in a way that serves the movie’s darker tone. It manages to deliver an intriguing concept with standout moments but stumbles when it comes to tying all its ideas together into a cohesive whole. None of the other stories were nearly as entertaining as the initial ice cream man one. Despite its flaws, it's an entertaining watch, especially for fans of anthology horror.
