Review of Forgotten Tales

The cinematography and production are on the high end of amateur, with decent lighting, sound, acting, pacing, and scripting, etc. Yet, without tying it all together into a pretty package, it renders itself ineffective in its ultimate goal: fear. Still, it does a decent job overall in its renditions of classic stories and tropes - all seemingly centered around one theme: slashers - and it's still mildly entertaining.

I personally enjoyed the call-back to Creepshow with the still-frame comic-style shots at the end of each short. I also really enjoyed the subtle ways that they tied the three shorts together, especially considering that there's no wraparound story.

But still, by the end, it's mostly forgettable. Needed a bit more oomph.

1. In our first story, "Ghost Story," a newly divorced woman must contend with a few spirits for the rights to her new home, or is something more sinister going on here?

2. Next up is "The Babysitter," wherein a woman beginning her new career as a babysitter experiences unease when news of an up and coming serial killer targeting young women crops up.

3. The final story, "Audition,"is about a young female actress looking for work signs up for an audition, but gets more than she bargained for.
