Viewing Notes
Interesting project that doesn’t quite always work but still interesting to watch. Did not know Vincenzo Natali directed one of the segments (featuring Elijah Wood and Olga Kurylenko no less). I picked this up primarily for the Wes Craven short, which is just okay. The Tom Tykwer and Christopher Doyle installments were probably my favorite.
I like how some of the characters bleed over into the other stories in the finale but I wish there had been more of that throughout to tie all the shorts together into the same universe.
