    Quite Funny!

    This film was a lot of fun! A real horror/comedy with a good script and many funny moments.

    The movie is told as a series of flashbacks interspersed with present time dialogue. The dialogue is a bit slow, and had the filmakers had more money, would have done better and quickened the pace as voiceover narration. The take on many tropes of horror is quirky and funny. The ending ties up many story threads in a satisfying way. I was worried while watching the film that the anecdotes would be simply disconnected short stories, but the script brings most of them together by the end.
