Dance of the Dead

Genre : Horror | Thriller

Runtime : 59 Min

Director : Tobe Hooper

Plot : A story of a post - apocalyptic society where a teenager named Peggy gets involved with drug addicted biker and his friends.

Review : The third episode from the series of Masters of Horror by the famous director of Poltergeist and Texas Chainsaw Massacare. I just thought it would be better than the previous.

But it was just a thought which had not reality. From the very start it seemed pathetic to me. Didn't have the feel of Masters of Horror at all. Poor script, poor execution, poor direction, weird and silly acts. I thought I was watching some crap all the time. There was no substance in the whole episode. At least they had some twist or mystery at the climax but what's the use of it. It's so lame and cheap. Not a single thing to like about it. It is annoying to see it and I could not resist skipping 10 sec every now and then. I hope the series has better to offer next.

Final Verdict : No. Don't waste your time coz the episodes are not connected. Its very poor.

Dreams in the Witch-House

Genre : Horror | Thriller

Runtime : 55 Min

Director : Stuart Gordon

Plot : A student rents a room in an old boarding house and finds out that evil forces roams within the walls.

Review : The second episode from the series of Masters of Horror by the famous director of Re-Animator. I certainly had heard about this episode a lot and was eager to watch.

It will be early to say but this one is definitely better than the pilot episode. The story is concerned with a witch that resides in the house walls and enters into our world through the perfect intersection. There is some fair amount of gore in it which is required by the script and not placed without any reason. The direction is nice for a tv series. there are explicit scenes. It is quite different than the good going horror tales. A little scary at some places which was missing in the first. Still I feel that the actual terror is missing. It could have been made scarier. There could have been some sudden scenes to chill our spines. Still on whole it serves as a good one to watch at night. I even liked the climax unlike many others.

Final Verdict : Yes its worth a watch. Not too great of a horror but a good one definitely.

Incident on and Off a Mountain Road

Genre : Horror | Thriller

Runtime : 51 Min

Director : Don Coscarelli

Plot : While driving late night on a lonely road, Ellen distracted with her radio hits a car parked on road. She wishes to help the man least knowing that he is a monster.

Review : The first episode of the series I've heard so much from the director of the classics like Phantasm and Bubba-ho-tep. I truly had big expectations from this series and this was definitely not one of the best start.

The plot is simple consisting of a moonfaced stalking and slashing people. Iliked the opening scene and everything was going fine till the moonfaced came in the scene. I was like, ah its a slasher. Gone are the days when people used to fear of such masked man rushing on a killing spree. Today, it just leaves a little impact. Anyways we have a female lead on which the plot is focussed and that's the only good thing about it. How its not a weakling as a female always is. The climax is good but the whole rest movie is predictable. It turns out tobe an average start of the series, nothing special.

Final Verdict : Yes watch it when you are free. Its a very average episode and a one time watch definitely.
