Three shorts taped together
When an animated film does well, there is usually a follow-on of some short films, or a TV series. I mean like the Shrek Halloween shorts, or the Boss Baby series on Netflix.
I think this is what was planned here - three short films for distribution some how, but they weren't sure what to do with them. So they seem to have decided to stitch them together and pad them out into a film.
The film as a whole is enjoyable but jumps around all over the place. Each of the stories in isolation are very enjoyable, with enough humour and charm to keep the audience entertained.

Sets the 80's Horror video well (0 more)
Retro Horror short
A mini Horror film at around 50 minutes long. Made to feel like you are watching an old 80's Horror video complete with VHS style trailers and warnings. Does well in setting the low budget horror vibe. Not much of a plot, much the same as the old slasher films. It's not that bad if you like Slasher films and don't mind low budget stuff, nothing special though.

Has potential
I was really looking forward to watching this, having been a fan of the other films. Unfortunately for me I found it to be a bit lacking.
The action and the opening scene in particular are great but the storyline I found to be a bit boring, the acting a bit cardboard.
Overall its an ok film but falls short of any of the other films in the ‘of the dead’ series.

This is the way
Finally got round to this as started Disney+ recently. Good to see something different set in the Star Wars universe. Set around 5 years after Return of the Jedi. The settings are familiar but not with any particular characters from any of the films. It's well shot and the SFX are good for a short series. Only downside some episodes were a bit slow and general quite short in length. One is under 30 minutes and generally only around 35-40 minutes long. It's enjoyable if not something that will blow your mind.

Mike Portnoy recommended Eraserhead (1977) in Movies (curated)

 
Eraserhead (1977)
Eraserhead (1977)
1977 | Drama, Horror

"""Two great milestones for Lynch: his debut masterpiece and his most recent masterpiece. Eraserhead is the truest representation of a dream (or nightmare) I’ve ever seen put to film. Lynch’s debut was one of the ultimate midnight cult films of its time, and the Criterion package also includes all of his early short films. Mulholland Dr. is Lynch at his best, combining Blue Velvet and Twin Peaks into a hypnotic mystery that only gets better (and makes sense) with multiple viewings."""

Kathryn Bigelow recommended Mean Streets (1973) in Movies (curated)

Mean Streets (1973)
1973 | Classics, Drama

"…and then [in Mean Streets], Robert De Niro; his kind of twitchy reverence to this wonderfully insane underworld. Somehow, the two [films] will always be forever linked in my mind. Whoever programmed those two movies together… it was at a moment when, in an art context, I was beginning to make short films. So film was definitely becoming a medium that was intriguing to me, and I hadn’t quite made a complete transition yet, but I found those two films just extraordinary, and they opened up a kind of unimaginable landscape for me. That kind of great irreverence, and intensity, and strength of purpose in those characters."

I just finishes watching this with my friend, he would gave it a 8 if he was on here. Me i give it a strong 5. I am a fan of short film and this is a collection of short film. This has a cast of major starts but i am not a fan of movies that just try to shock you. I found the short films very predictable so maybe that is why i was not shocked. if you want a ztupid movie to kill time and maybe be grossed out with this might be the one to watch. If i had the chance to rewatch it i would say NO!

There is not one person in my house, or even my friends, who do not enjoy this film, or any of the other short Wallace and Gromit films. They are a timeless classic- just as funny and entertaining now as it was when I first watched it. They are wonderful and heartfelt creations by Nick Park.

Slightly odd Comedy Thriller
A decent short series, just 8 episodes around 20-25 minutes long each. I thought it was a general Thriller to start with but halfway way through it is more of a parody of other recent Thriller Films and series. Decent story although the ending was rather silly, if you like Murder Mysteries you should enjoy it.
