Synopsis

Spoiler shield

In the phantasmagorical town of Raven's End, a misguided young girl takes refuge in a decrepit old mortuary. The eccentric undertaker chronicles the strange history of the town through a series of twisted tales, each more terrifying than the last, but the young girl's world is unhinged when she discovers that the final story... is her own.

★ 8/10
80/100 Marking his feature film directorial debut, Ryan Spindell demonstrates his talents in short horror films with this anthology centered around a new employee at the Raven's End Mortuary. The stories are fairly simple but exquisitely presented with outstanding visuals and photography, excellent acting with just a small dose of 'don't take this seriously' that makes them work on several levels. The dialogue is missing the level of wit and quotable lines that would put it in the same league as "Creepshow" but horrifically good entertainment, nonetheless. -- DrNostromo.com

Very good movie, much like an 80's flick. I enjoyed it, it was like the anthology creepy movies from the 80s! It's a bit spooky but not terrifying, and a bit corny but not ridiculous.
