Audience Member "Tales From The Dead" is quite a unique film, as it is a Japanese horror movie made in America using Japanese-American talent; due to this, it manages to sample from the best parts of both Japanese and American horror styles. The film consists of four short stories, each highlighting a different supernatural event, and each bringing about some major creeps. Plot-wise, this movie not only manages to build up an incredible amount of unease, but each vignette serves as a cautionary tale of sorts, without beating the audience over the head with its messages. For the rest of my review, check out my film review blog: http://filmsallthetime.blogspot.com Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Not great, but really entertaining...You can tell that they had a small budget for this picture, but they made the most of what they had to work with. It drags a little in the middle, but if you like J-Horror and have a tolerance for b-movies (especially when spiced up with an incredibly cute lead actress), this is watchable. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member For being a J-horror film that was largely based in California; this film would have been way better of being filmed in Japan. There were only a few good scares and about one or two good stories. A real disappointment in the eye of the J-horror fanbase! Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
