Viewing Notes

This is a terrific anthology and one I had not heard of until the VinSyn announcement. When VinSyn announced this as their first VSL title I looked for it bc it’s an interesting release for them. Def would buy this at some point during one of their sales.

Each segment plays like a Twilight Zone episode with the first two being perfect for that length. The third segment could’ve easily been a full 60-75min feature and I wish it was bc Barbara Stanwyck is excellent and looks like Hollywood royalty. Simply stunning.
