HorrorTales.666

About This Movie

HorrorTales.666 is one of those oddities from the early 2000s that straddles a few lines. The atmosphere is thick with dread, and the pacing really plays into the build-up of dread. You get this sense of curiosity turning into horror as the thief reads the stories, which get creepier and creepier. The practical effects, while not the most polished, have a rawness that adds to the unsettling vibe. The performances are solid enough to carry the concept, and there's this interesting theme about the power of storytelling, especially when it starts to seep into reality. It's definitely not your standard horror fare, and that's what makes it a curious watch for collectors who enjoy the more experimental side of the genre.
