Conjure X

Better than I expected from a very new movie with only 5 ratings and no reviews, but the stories were of variable quality. It had a feeling of being a bunch of shorts strung together instead of being constructed as a deliberate anthology. It lacked any framing narrative, the titling and credits from story to story were highly inconsistent, and it had no kind of buffer from story to story if there weren't credits at the end of one or an establishing shot at the start of the next, which made for a couple of confusing transitions.

My favorite was the fourth story, Exit 7A. It was well-paced and concise, simple but well executed. The first story was one of the strongest, as it gave the simple plot a decent amount of time to develop, but it did suffer from the lead making a hugely stupid decision for no reason and bringing about their own downfall. The sixth and final story was a horror comedy. The dialogue was a little try-hard, but I did find it decently funny overall. Definitely a monster I didn't expect. I found the other three stories pretty forgettable.

On the whole, I didn't feel like I wasted my time on this anthology--it's definitely not even the worst horror movie I've seen in the past 24 hours--but I also only liked half of the stories. YMMV.
