Remember this name: Jocelin Donahue. She gives a
fantastic performance in this subtle and masterfully
executed retro horror film. I really wound up liking
this movie. It's definitely not for everyone and it's
certainly not a feel good movie by any stretch. But the
way the parts leading up the mayhem happened could
almost be described as beautiful. It wasn't just 80s
redux, it was that improved.
As an example, the scene where Jocelin’s Samantha is bobbing around to the Fix's "One Thing Leads To Another" but then the music abruptly stops (for the audience) when she opens the door to that dark basement - just really nicely done.

Produced by Bryan "The Usual Suspects" Singer, this is a
series of vignettes. None of them are bad, but the last one, about
a crazy old man who gets a spooky visit from a "kid" with stuffed
satchel bag for a head and button eyes is one of the best horror
episodics I've seen since Creepshow's "The Crate" or Twilight
Zone's "The Living Doll".
The last one is worth the price of admission alone. Trust.
As an added bonus, Rochelle Aytes is looking real good in this.
