when it come to horror film and the only tried and true formula that have stand the test of time ( besides red food coloring and corn syrup ) be the anthology while that be and a combination of story that form the body of a movie . there have be several british variation of this over the year ( tale from the crypt and asylum and vault of horror ) and and hollywood have try it hand at it as well and with vary degree of success . it have it great success on tv ( the twilight zone and outer limit and hbo tale from the crypt ) and and therefore every filmic variation will indeed suffer by the comparison of style and substance to what have be set before . it should come a no surprise and however and that there have indeed be more bad than good horror anthology film . just look at your video store horror section . so many and in fact and that it take a special something to make even one stand out from the norm . sometimes it a matter of attitude ( tale from the hood ) and other time a matter of the talent before and behind the camera ( the aforementioned british classic ) . and then other time still it depend on the energy and desire to entertain and a willingness to admit that there nothing new under the sun and just crank it all up a loud and as fun a a horror movie can be . to say that death 4 told do nothing new be not news . but for a movie that take less that $ 90 and 000 to film and produce and feature a majority of fledgling actor and so forth and it would be difficult to not appreciate the effort put forth . i be sure this also isn not news to a majority of the people who be read this . suffice it to say that as far a anthology movie go and death 4 tell do deliver the good from begin to end . since this be an anthology and allow me to describe each segment as ambiguously a possible represent1 ) a doll house a young writer ( brian cade ) and his wife ( britt marder ) move to a small town and rent a beautiful house for him to work in . secret abound and however and when footstep and a child laughter be hear within . this be only compounded when pete ( me represent george litman . ) and a crazy local and ask a cryptic question represent have ya meet toby yet . 2 ) folklore a group of college friend set out for the wood when the driver travis ( nar williams ) run over a strange wolf like animal . soon and the group find themselves beset by strange sound deep in the wood and rustle bush and glow white eye that lie in wait in the dark night . 3 ) world most haunt a young intern ( stasia andrew ) on a reality tv show help set up an abandon asylum for a broadcast along with the director ( harley kaplan ) and technician ( mark van fossen ) and soundman ( michael evanichko ) . but after she find some unknown secret on the building history and it evil history come to hideous light . 4 ) the psychic hypocritical psychic madame baudeau ( margot kidder ) begin to find her prediction be finally come true . unfortunately and the future she forsees be all tragic . will the next person she read for live or die . again and nothing here be terribly original story wise . that not the point here . the point be that the director ( bo buckley and michael close ) set the mood early on while messy and chaotic but with huge dollop of humor ( much of it self referential to those who be familiar with the genre ) while the actor and big and small and put everything they have into their part . it all in the tone fun and of course and but a suspension of belief be still necessary for any movie to work . that true here while not to mention an appreciation for the general scene you see in any b movie represent the scary legend and the dark shadow and the unexplained noise and the sinister local and the sudden splash of blood and the gratuitous display of skin . god bless independent horror film . ten star out of ten . watch for death 4 told .
