Screamtime - Dr. Briggs - 04-04-2011
I really have very little to say about this one, other than that I enjoyed it, and I think so should fans of creepy anthologies. Actually, I got a big Tales From The Darkside vibe from it. All three stories felt like episodes (had "Darkside" been done by Brits anyway) despite being completely unrelated, and although the first story is a little predictable (think Mr. Briggs's favorite movie), the second could have been done a tiny bit better and the third story climaxes weakly, the "ambiance" of the work counts for something.
Speaking of the film's flaws just a bit more; the segments which tie together the stories are also rather poor, but often the wraparound of an anthology means little. Makes sense considering that allegedly the stories were originally separate and were brought together by another company, and really doesn't take big points away from the film.
I'll go ahead and be generous: 7/10
I don't believe it is officially on DVD. I found it on Netflix if anyone reading has it, and the film hasn't been taken offline by the time they do.
Screamtime - FreddysFingers - 04-05-2011
I heard about Screamtime and it's funny because I was browsing through Netflix Instant and saw that it was 80's so I added it. Haven't seen it yet but it is on my list of things to watch eventually. I think the description said that it was like Creepshow but that's good that it has a TFTDS vibe.
