Audience Member A horror anthology with segments directed by Ken Russell, Joe Dante, Sean Cunningham and Monte Hellman? Sounds great, doesn't it? Well, it's not. The screenplay by Dennis Bartok (who up until this specialized in documentary supplements for DVDs) really lets this one down. None of the segments are the least bit interesting. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Geronimo! A group of "randomly" selected individuals receive VIP park passes to a Universal Studios type theme park. They decide to go off the tour and visit the haunted house where a famous movie was filmed; unfortunately, they become locked in the house. The tour guide believes if they each tell one horror story, the house will let them out. As the strangers tell their stories, they may not feel so comfortable around each other... "You have to let the worm grow with your baby." Sean Cunningham (The original Friday the 13th), Joe Dante (Gremlins 2), John Gaeta, Monte Hellman (Two-Lane Blacktop), and Ken Russell (Gothic) collaborate to deliver five short stories for this picture. The storylines for this picture is miserable and very disappointing. The plots are fairly flimsy and the acting is very mediocre. The cast includes John Saxon, Jayce Bartok, Henry Gibson, Lara Harris, Scott Lowell, and Rachel Veltri. "We've learned from our mistakes." I grabbed this movie off Netflix because I was hoping for something a little closer to Tales from the Darkside; unfortunately, this was worse than Tales from the Hood. Overall, this is a pathetic addition to the genre that should be skipped even by horror movie junkies. "There were rumors of orgies and satanic rituals on his sets." Grade: F Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member A pretty good horror anthology :) Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member An anthology of four horror tales...not so bad. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Typically predictable horror anthology. Ok for a for a Saturday afternoon if you have nothing better to do. Sixties actor John Saxon, Laugh In's Henry Gibson and erstwhile Queer as Folk regular Scott Lowell are the "big name actors" of this epic. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member A thoroughly entertaining and twisted if somewhat derivative horror anthology film, Trapped Ashes features an interesting assortment of directors for its five segments: Joe Dante (Piranha), Sean S. Cunningham (Friday the 13th), Joe Gaeta (visual effects on The Matrix films), Monte Hellman (Two-Lane Bricktop), and Ken Russell (The Devils, Altered States, Tommy, etc.). Brutal, crazy, erotic, and always surprising, Trapped Ashes features one story after another that blends sex and horror into an awesomely entertaining mixture that may be derivative of a certain other classic horror omnibus film but is nonetheless enjoyable.
