It needed at least one more story


The two stories felt padded and weren't good enough to make up the whole 2 hours. They needed at least one more story, if not more.

agreed. it's what kept me from purchasing the dvd, for so long. i love horror anthologies. but two stories is a little thin.

I thought it could've used a wraparound segment but other than that no complaints from me.

The first time I watched it I turned it off fairly early on. It wasnt holding my attention

The SECOND time I watched it I loved it

The THIRD time I watched it....I was surprised to find I didn't love it

I just ordered tge,DVD to give it another shot. Reading up on the original plans to have more directors do more stories I feel this explains why I don't quite "love" it. They stretch the movie out to make a decent running time. And it hurts the movie In the long run. The stories are goid but needed to be shorter

'round these parts we don't fool with DVDs honey,
it's time to upgrade to 4k releases

YES...YES WE DO...DVDS AND VHS TOO.

It already has a 2 hour run time, so unless the additional story was very short, I think that would be overkill. The Romero one was pretty dull, and could have been shortened. I think Argento's "The Black Cat" is very good, and justifies its length.
