Review – Tales from the Grave (2004)

I suppose one way to look at movies like this is that they save us from having to watch three crappy horror movies by cutting them down and mashing them together into one crappy horror movie. On the other hand, I’ve already seen The Dead Hate the Living, so this only-better-‘cause-it’s-shorter serving of sloppy seconds didn’t spare me from anything. The second piece – bimbeaux on a haunted house reality show get done in by real haints – looked as if it might have had more nudity in it before it got edited. The third one was a nonsensical tale of a witch who takes revenge on some hillbillies who mess with her (killing either her cat or her kid, the cut-down version wasn’t clear on which). Overall if you like movies like this then you should probably go rent the originals so you can get the full experience. And if you’re like me and you only watch them out of a sense of obligation and/or boredom, then honestly why bother with them in long or short versions? I should have learned my lesson after Tomb of Terror. Wish I’d skipped it
