Tagline:It's Not If They Die... It's How
Favourite line:"YOU are the murderer"

Anthology gore movie, linked by a rather thin plot involving a Satanic child murderer and Dani Filth, of Cradle of Filth fame, attempting to exact vengeance upon the individual responsible.
The four individual shorts are diverse, and reasonably interesting, each culminating in a gore fest of one form or another.
The acting is dreadful throughout, and the script not much better, but this kind of movie lives and dies on its horror effects, and in this at least it is satisfying.
The effects are clearly low budget, but they are handled well and are pretty nasty in places.
This is a film that will appeal to low budget, Z grade horror enthusiasts only so, as you can imagine, I enjoyed it quite a lot ;-)
