Amazing Stories (1986) is an interesting project, really. It's stitched together from three episodes of the anthology series, which gives it a somewhat disjointed feel. The atmosphere has that nostalgic charm typical of 80s fantasy and horror, with practical effects that, while not mind-blowing, have their own gritty appeal. The pacing varies quite a bit; you can feel it in the transitions between stories. Each segment – The Mission, Mummy Daddy, and Go to the Head of the Class – brings its own unique vibe. I mean, you get a mix of whimsy and oddity, but sometimes the narratives feel rushed. Still, the performances, especially in The Mission, have a certain earnestness that sticks with you. It's a quirky watch for collectors, for sure.
