In this atrocity, we meet two hapless guys on the road in the middle of the woods driving to a "Middle of the woods" party. They get a flat tire after nearly running over a young woman named Natalie (Jamie Lynn Siegler  The Sopranos) and she begs them to give her a ride. They have to await a tow truck and run into a park ranger (Dave Johansen  Tales from the Darkside, Scrooged) who begins telling them three tales.

The First tale is about a mental patient who escapes an insane asylum and becomes a janitor for a school. Four school football players begin to bully him and attack him. When they go to ambush him in the forest, he gets his revenge. The Second Tale is that of three strangers who decide to follow an old Native American to his home. They kill the Native American and take his drugs and smoke it. Soon the three begin hallucinating and learn their lesson.The Third tale is about a young girl who tells about her grandmother who lived up in her house and believes her spirit is dwelling there. When she and a friend decide to play a joke on their boyfriends they get more than they bargained for. One thing I did enjoy about this movie was the comedic leading characters sucked into this crap. They're scenes are possibly the best thing to watch this for.

Ugh, I love anthology movies and I'm usually open to low budget horror movies because you never know when you might come across a gem (Ex. If I die before I wake, Ginger Snaps), so I checked this one out unbiased. Boy, was I in for something. First, the movie begins with a badly computer animated flaming skull (how original) who speaks in a deep voice talking about creepy tales and something else. Then we enter the story with the two characters talking about a middle of the woods party (Why a middle of the woods party? It gives them an excuse to be in the setting) and they meet Natalie in the middle of the road (They're a bit suspicious but never ask where her car is or where she's going) and they meet Ranger Bill who invites them in the forest to tell the stories (They never ask for I.D., or ask where his car is.

Rangers have cars to travel through the woods, it's common sense. Also, they never ask how he knew they were there.). He tells them he called the tow company (though we never actually see him do it, nor does he have a phone on him). They go with him, (I wouldn't have), and he tells them stories over a camp fire (how there's a campfire there, we'll never know, and they never explain it.). The first story is hilarious as we see badly edited scenes of a dentist torturing a patient in a mental asylum. He then breaks free from his restraints made out of rope (Why? Who knows) and jams a scalpel into his head. Four years later he's now a janitor who gets bullied by four football players.

These guys are boneheaded jocks who blurt out insults like "He's such a penile implant".
Ooh! That's gotta hurt! So they chase him into the forest to kill him and he begins knocking them off one by one. End of story. The second one has these three boneheaded obnoxious bikers who drive a car who see a Native American buy coffee in the restaurant. He carries around a magical sack which no one asks about and he leaves after they insult him. They follow him home and watch as he smokes some killer weed. He begins hallucinating in a badly animated sequence as snakes wrap around him and he sees wolves. They strangle him to death and decide to take his drugs. They soon begin hallucinating and discover he's not exactly dead. I found this story to be so bad it was painful.

The ending shows as the three get their life force taken from them and they turn old. In the last scene the Native American, now a young man, looks across the cafe to see the three old bikers having coffee. Sure, you just had your life sucked from and you're basically insane so you'd want to have a cup of coffee first. The third one is least bad but still very annoying as we have this whiny girl and her boyfriend kissing in a car (another original scene) and the girl, for some reason, begins telling of how her insane grandmother lived in their house until she died. So they decide not to do the funky monkey and she goes home to her friend. She decides she wants to invite them back and play a joke on them. So, the boyfriends come over they drink and talk for a long time and they blindfold the boyfriends leading them around the house. One by one the guys gets killed by an unknown person and the friend gets killed. In the end we see the girl from the beginning sitting with the dead bodies and it seems her gramma possessed her. Sp-o-o-o-ky! So, the entire trilogy of idiocy ends with a hilarious and annoying finale that left me considering, a razor or a revolver?

I usually love anthology movies but not this one. If you want poor production quality, terrible special effects, no scares, horrible acting, and plot holes galore, check this one out. My suggestion? Watch some of the better ones at the side.
