\"terror-5\"<\/a>In this Argentinian horror film, multiple tales crisscross and overlap, creating a whole that shows chaos in a city.\u00a0 Students torture teachers, party goers discuss snuff films, a couple is being spied on in a motel room, men standing watch have an interesting night, and mourners meet creatures in a cemetery.\u00a0 Written by Sebastian Rotstein with collaborative writer Nicolas Gueilburt and co-directed by Sebastian and Federico Rotstein, Terror 5 works these 5 stories together and interconnects them in a way that makes the whole work.\u00a0 The characters are varied but mostly young people, most likely to appeal to their demographic and for parts of the story to make more sense.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

That being said, this is a big cast with each stories having their own team on scream per se and these teams work well together in terms of characters and what happens to them.\u00a0 The stories are rather simple which is not to say that they are not interesting, but their simplicity does lend itself to the short story format that they get here as opposed to full stories.\u00a0 The most effective story this reviewer is the one about the students and their teachers.\u00a0 The characters are more interesting and show more interesting development.\u00a0 The less effective is the group of party goers, drinking, smoking, and talking about these snuff movies one of them as supposedly seen.<\/p>\n

This particular story is not bad in and of itself, but the characters are mostly grating leading the viewer to care less about them. The cast here could also be the reason being this.\u00a0 The two leads in the students versus teachers\u2019 story have a good chemistry with the young woman giving possibly the best performance of the entire movie.\u00a0 Her performance if filled with emotions and care, while her love interest is a bit more confused about what is going and properly wondering as to what he wants to do.<\/p>\n

Their performances make their segment stand out as the best of the bunch and give it more resonance for this reviewer. The film\u2019s different segments all have cinematography by Marcelo Lavintman and editing by Nicol\u00e1s Goldbart and Federico Rotstein which give them a cohesive look and help bring the stories together.\u00a0 The film entirely takes place at night, giving an extra connection between the stories and their settings.\u00a0 The choice of them all having some kind of connection, as small as it may be, also helped keep the stories flowing together and working together.<\/p>\n

Terror 5 is a decent anthology in the vein of Southbound and A Christmas Horror Story in how the stories interconnect and the film goes back and forth between the stories.\u00a0 Terror 5 is a good film, but not great unfortunately.\u00a0 Some of the segments, mainly the students versus teachers one, are stronger than the others which creates a disconnect with the weaker, but not bad, ones.\u00a0 The look of the film keeps everything connected visually and the helps bring the stories together.<\/p>\n
