Anthology flick with segments all directed by women. As with most anthologies, some are better than others. Overall, it is solid though.
First one is about a family that stops eating after the sun peaks into a strangers mysterious gift box. The second one, which stars Melanie Lynskey, who I adore, is throwing her daughter a birthday party when she discovers her husband has committed suicide and decides to hide him. Great segment. What a fucking nightmare. This one was my favorite. Surprisingly a lot of humor in it.
Third one, titled “Don’t Fall,” finds foursome climb a cliff where they find a cave painting of demons. One gets possessed and that is that. Fourth one is about a woman who sign is about to turn 18 and appears to be a psychopath. Rips her kids fingernails off at school (which the school seems to wanna give him an award for or something), abuses the dog, killed a squirrel, so forth. A real piece of shit. She is terrified of him. Let’s just say that Rosemarys baby is required viewing to really appreciate this last segment. It's fantastic. I’d watch the feature length of this flick. The end is pretty stupid though.
Connective segment is some creepy Tool-esque stop motion shit. Sort of like Mad God. Just a bunch of art house stuff.
