While most of the stories are good they are the classic stories like H.P Lovecraft's 'Herbert West - Reanimator' are the best and some of the newer ones are good also but not great.

A rather disappointing showing actually. I might be somewhat inured to body horror, seeing as I have yet to see the microwaving baby scene from Victims beaten for most uncomfortable, but there wasn't much in the way of proper scares or discomfort. Some of the stories even had happy endings which was just absurd. There were a few decent stories though, so not a complete wash.
