Horror Stories (DVD), Artsploitation, Horror

Horror anthologies might be everywhere these days, but the Korean entry Horror Stories raises the bar with four terrifying stories (and a nail-biting wraparound tale), each one chilling enough to be it's own feature. If you thought this was going to be a tame collection of teen-friendly "ghost girl" stories think again. Horror Stories goes right for the jugular with non-stop splatter, intense shocks and riveting suspense. A high school girl is abducted and forced by a psycho to tell him the scariest tales she knows. Don't Answer the Door finds a little brother and sister home alone at night and under siege. Endless Flight has a serial killer escaping police custody in the middle of an otherwise empty flight. Secret Recipe serves up a wildly macabre fairy tale about two jealous stepsisters who take plastic surgery to nightmarish extremes. Ambulance on the Death Zone is a claustrophobic zombie shocker with a paramedic and a mother at a standoff over her possibly infected young daughter.
