On what seems to be an increasingly rare event, I actually agree with the majority of Critic's reviews on this one! We've been spoilt with good multi-story/anthology horror movies, so it is sometimes difficult to judge one on its own merits, but I didn't find that here. I enjoyed the stories, with each of them improving one after the other, and that is reflected in the overarching story - which starts off deliberately hammy and cringeworthy, building to something intriguing and interconnected with the short stories

An actually pretty solid movie with pretty solid effects-use and fun enough tales, but the transition[s] between [the stories] was a bit hit-or-miss which is a bigger issue considering that actual aspect's involvement with the film. 6.4/10

If you watched the anthology horror/thriller/mystery series on TV as a kid this is much what you get without Vincent Price etc hamming the presentation instead you have the classic three actors in black intros ( I did this on stage when I was young) some of the stories engage but on the whole it is unsatisfying way of presentation that never really gains traction and a genuine relief when the credits roll

My friend kept telling me to watch this movie. His initial comment when he watched it was that it was weird. Then he started liking it. He said it was really funny and not really a horror movie, more of a comedy. I didn't find a single thing about this movie amusing. I'd call my friend a sadistic SOB if I didn't know him better. I'm still waiting for the gotcha moment from him explaining it was a ruse to get me to watch one of the worst movies he's ever seen like I felt. I like some of the cast in other work, but I cannot recommend this movie unless you want to watch something boring, weird, and lacking in any form of entertainment.

Reminded me of the film Nightmare Cinema in the aspect that the frame story is a theatre instead of a movie theater. If you can enjoy low budget horror, this isn't a bad anthology to watch, especially around Christmas. Really was only 1 short I wasn't a fan of

Deep Focus Review

Sadly, the best thing about All the Creatures Were Stirring is the poster.

There's just nothing scary here, so what's the point?

Flickering Myth

A rough-around-the-edges Xmas horror anthology like a bargain bin present loosely wrapped in last year's newspaper - but at least done so with love.

Rated: 2/5

Vague Visages

All the Creatures Were Stirring isn't as accomplished as Tales of Halloween... but its shorter run-time and singular vision mean there isn't an obvious dud in the handful of shorts.

Gayly Dreadful

At a fun, brisk 80 minutes, it's just the right length to tease and surprise without overstaying its welcome.

Rated: 3/5

A mixed bag of laughs and scares, fans will be left wanting more of both, despite the unique interpretations of holiday horrors.
