![]() ![]() Here, we get some the best effects.Īs for the wrap-around? It’s pretty uneventful, mostly made up of the buyer of the book reading until eventually he, like the others, becomes part of the story. A story about urban legends, in particular one that surrounds mirrors. Which also applies to the finale of Man in the Mirror. Interesting and energetic, the tone shift of this story is a bit unnecessary but it’s still an enjoyable short. As she tries to make her way home, the story changes into an alien invasion horror. ![]() A woman waking in her car, unsure of how she got there, finds out that the world has been hit by an unknown viral disease that turns its victims into wild animals. The penultimate story is called Ocularis and begins in good fashion. Here we get a story that you feel could almost work as a fully-fledged movie (albeit perhaps needing more originality). Where a student decides to do this thesis on the existence of snuff films but gets drawn into starring in his own one after digging into the dark web a little too deeply. Followed then by Give Up the Ghost, one of the longer stories overall. Up next is The Woods, a wholly forgettable ghost story set within the Louisiana bayou. The ‘twist’ is predictable but still enjoyable. While hardly scary or horrifying, this story plays out well and keeps the interest up by not taking too long to get to the point. In fact, he starts to find it quite funny. Yet, no matter the punishment dished out on this man, he refuses to tell them anything. One man, tied to a chair, is being brutally beaten in an attempt to give up the identity of a hitman simply known as ‘The Sorcerer’. The second story is an improvement and certainly shows how an imaginative idea doesn’t need to be held down by a low budget.Ĭalled Sorcerer’s Finger, three young girls sneak into an abandoned warehouse and come across a gang interrogation. A yawn-inducing story that barely gets going and then abruptly ends with a twist ending that is far from earned. When he doesn’t come back, the girl decides to follow him. The boy decides to go take a look, ignoring the stories of dangerous animals that are said to live in the woods. ![]() A young couple parked in the woods hear a noise outside. The first is Date Night and is set some time in the 1950s. A collection of uninspired and unexciting shorts. It’s these stories that we will now experience. Of course, the new owner of the book ignores this warning, going home and settling in for a good old read. Before selling it to a customer, he implores the man to not read it. One that the owner swears is incredibly rare and cursed. The wrap around story surrounds a book store, one that appears to have sprung up out of nowhere, and an unusual book. Nash, Emmanuel Carter, Heidi Harian, Heather Chambers and Ari Lehman. An anthology horror, The Black Book has segments written and directed by Topher Chambers, Jim Dougherty, Steven Durgarn and Joe Herbert. ![]()
