Muerte: Tales of Horror is a 2018 movie that showcases short horror stories that are woven together. The movie claims to be a tribute to the classic horror anthology movies of the past, and it is directed by Christopher Ambriz. The movie has a creepy opening that sets the stage for the horror to come. We are introduced to a mysterious man in a top hat, who is sitting in a sinister-looking room. The man is holding a book that contains the stories that we are about to see. He begins to read the stories to us, and this is where the real horror begins.
The first story is about a group of friends who decide to visit an abandoned asylum. The asylum has a dark past, and the group hopes to find something spooky there. They soon discover that the asylum is not uninhabited, as they are stalked by a ghost-like presence.
The second story is about a woman who is trying to sell her old house. The woman is desperate to get rid of the property due to some unexplained events happening there. She hires a real estate agent who soon discovers that there is something evil lurking in the house.
The third story is about a young couple who is excited to move into their new home. Their joy soon turns to horror when they realize that their new location is riddled with dark secrets. They must find a way to escape before itâs too late.
The fourth story is about a group of young adults who are out camping in a remote location. They soon become helpless as they are attacked by a group of people who are not at all human.
The final story is a twist ending that unveils the real purpose of the mysterious man in the top hat.
Throughout the movie, we see some strong acting from the cast. Michelle Banks and Tara Allen stand out as strong female leads. Mario Aguilar plays the mysterious man in the top hat with a certain eerie quality that is appropriate for the movieâs theme.
The cinematography is impressive, and the use of shadows and dark lighting really helps to create a spooky atmosphere. The music is also aptly used to create the right mood for each story.
The special effects are impressive and do a good job of adding to the creepy atmosphere. Practical effects are used throughout the movie, which is refreshing for a horror film.
One drawback of the movie is that some of the stories are a bit predictable. Fans of horror movies will easily guess the twists in some of the stories. However, this does not detract from the overall enjoyment of the movie.
Another flaw of the movie is that some of the stories felt rushed. It would have been nice for some of the stories to have been fleshed out a bit more.
Overall, Muerte: Tales of Horror is a classic horror anthology movie that does a good job of paying tribute to the genreâs past. With strong acting, great cinematography, and impressive special effects, it is a horror movie that any fan of the genre should watch.
Muerte: Tales of Horror is a 2018 horror movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 33 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 5.0.
