Reviews from Letterboxd:

1. BjorkShandy – ★★★
   “Simple! Average Horror! Bloody! Scary Horror! had brief moments of brilliance but was mostly forgettable. The film is made up of four shorts and there is no real theme other than ‘horror’ which is as broad as it gets so each short does its own thing… maybe that’s why the film isn’t good.”

2. Brennan Dortch Cornelius Thunderbolt – ★★½
   “It’s not really bloody or scary but it is kinda dumb and a little fun.”

3. travisalekz – ★★
   “Segment 1: 1 out of 5
   Segment 2: 2 out of 5
   Segment 3: 2½ out of 5 (fun premise, not enough to it beyond that)
   Segment 4: 3 out of 5 (interesting premise, 15 minutes isn’t enough to flesh out).”
