      Audience Member This shot on video anthology film was chopped up and played in between shows on the Sci-Fi Network, when that was a thing before SyFy. So if one of these stories sounds familiar to you, that could be why. Vincent Price plays the mailman and host of these stories, as a man opens a package and puts in the video tape that has all of these horrific little tales on them. From a fisherman getting his just desserts to bad directions, werecats chasing a larger man through the woods, alien crash landings, a bridge haunted by hobgoblins, magic crystals, frightening dreams and the horror of living in the city, this movie is all over the place yet not every frightening or well-made. Writer/producer/director David Steensland only made this one and done film, but at least he had the sense to hire Price for a single day Intervision put this out on a double DVD with Dark Harvest. It's out of print, however. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Well this is not very good at all. The stories are very lackluster, although the one of the relaxing coffee was good. The stories of this anthology are barely held together by a mailman delivering a video. Not worth seeing really. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member A film of mystery and compelling curiosity--A Lot of Fun!! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
