As much as I love the annualization of this franchise, I am feeling some deja vu from a year ago as I write this review, for I have the exact same (oddly specific) take: the first segment, a maternity-themed haunted house jaunt, is fantastic, but the rest of the collection ranges from disappointing to dizzying.

I think the big letdown this year are the uninspired settings. I mean, the Halloween theme does narrow the options a bit, and the budget is always low, but I think there was a lot of imagination left on the table. One segment follows a group of young adults sucked into a vengeful “only take one” candy bowl, and where do they end up? Some nightmarish hellscape or demonic candy land? Nah, a warehouse.

By the time the settings start getting interesting again (in the final segment), I’m getting too dizzy. Is that the fault of the film? I’m not sure exactly sure, but as long as the series keeps delivering at least one good segment, I’ll be back every October to get dizzy again!

Really interesting stories and the effects were so cool!
My fav one is Ut Supra Sic Infra: so creepy, realistic and well executed (bonus points for the Spanish language which i love).
The least convincing one was Fun Size: so cheesy and the characters were way too dumb but i appreciated the humor of it.
Overall a solid collection of Halloween themed videotapes!

My ranking:
1. Ut Supra Sic Infra 5/5
2. Kidprint 4.5/5
3. Home Haunt 4/5
4. Diet Phantasma 3.5/5
5. Coochie Coochie Coo 3/5
6. Fun Size 2/5

Meh, definitely one of the weaker batches of shorts from the series. Any creativity was stunted from the shackles of the “Halloween” theme which mostly dissolved to trick or treating gone wrong one way or another.

Only one of real note was the Spanish short, but even that one lacked some oomf.

5.3

#1 - Ut Supra Sic Infra - 3.5/5 -
Some good spooky moments and somewhat unique concept.

#2 - Fun Size - 3/5 -
Decent Campy short with a few good laughs and body horror.

#3 - Coochie Coochie Coo - 2.5/5 -
Solid but feels derivative of many previous stories.

#4 - Diet Phamtasma - 2.5/5 -
Bizarre & funny but lacked any in depth intrigue

#5 - Homehaunt - 2.5/5 -
Decent concept but didn’t take advantage of many opportunities.

#6 - Kid print- 2/5 -
Felt more like the underwhelming means to the end of a director wanting to film child torture without ending up on an FBI watchlist.
