An anthology film of four tales revolving around a serial killer who is locked in a jail cell but has an evil servant do his bidding. Featuring Dani Filth of cheese band Cradle of Filth.

Not a bad little film. There’s plenty of gore and T&A and the effects range from good prosthetics to absolutely horrible CGI (the car chase CGI scene has to be seen to be truly mocked).The stories are good and keep the viewer’s attention and I must admit that Filth’s presence didn’t detract from the film at all. Although he is quite the cheeseball as in real life. This one was a tad overhyped when it came out. Gore fans will want to give this one at least a rental.

Stereo. Dolby Digital 2.0. The sound is good. Even when they play Cradle of Cheese songs.

Shot on video and it shows. Other than that a nice transfer to DVD. Letterboxed 1.85:1
