Horror anthologies can be hit and miss, especially when it comes to feature films. Sure, there's good ones like Creepshow... but there's also Creepshow 2, to name one of many subpar entries in this subgenre. The key to a good anthology is to have an engaging wrap-around story that ties everything together. And, if possible, have it connect to some of the stories being told. And if those stories can in some way connect to each other, even better.  Tonally, everything should tie together as well, even if the tales jump from straight-up horror to comedy, and get pretty "out there" at times. Ryan Spindell's The Mortuary Collection checks off every of the above boxes, telling a number of interconnected tales of terror that take place in the fictional town of Raven's End. At the centre of these stories are mortician Montgomery Dark (played by veteran character actor Clancy Brown) and his new employee, Sam, portrayed by the captivating Caitlin Custer. Sam and Dark sp...

Branded Shawn :  I don't know if my time was wasted here or not! I dislike movies that COULD be explained away through mental disorders or drug induced paranoia at the end. Not because they may not have been good, but because I don't want to watch a movie that was a waste of my fucking time after enjoying it. Ha ha. I don't know where I stand on this. It was a real ride, but strange indeed. It did look great, I got the message, but don't really understand the purpose of the film. It definitely isn't Ugly, but I also struggle to find the Good. So I'm going to leave it at a Bad, because I won't watch it again. Not even to attempt to sort it out. Jason: Shawn and I have complained at length about the lack of original material coming out of Hollywood these days. Then along come Branded and John Dies at the End to prove us wrong. Wait, neither was made by a Hollywood studio? Never mind then. I didn't really care much for t...
