Viewing Notes

Stumbled on this horror anthology on Prime… didn’t realize it was a sequel until I had to update the TMDb entry. Well, sequel only in name & production team given that this is an anthology. The story vary in quality but all are tied to this motel (not sure why they didn’t call it “Return to Horror Motel”). Initially was wondering if the segments were going to bleed together a la TRICK R TREAT since the first segment “Bed Bugs” is so damn long (32 minutes compared to the ~15min runtime of the others). That one is interesting b/c it’s doing so much whereas the others are more conventional short stories. The second one “Guillotine” is more like a story you’d find in other anthologies with a cursed artifact. Goes downhill after that.
