Directed by Darren Lynn Bousman, Axelle Carolyn, Adam Gierasch, Andrew Kasch, Neil Marshall, Lucky McKee, Mike Mendez, Dave Parker, Ryan Schifrin, John Skipp, and Paul Solet, U.S.A. Horror anthologies have made a welcome return over recent years. I loved the V/H/S series, the ALL HALLOWS’ EVE movies and GHOST STORIES. However, TALES OF HALLOWEEN is certainly not going to end up on my favourites list. Each of its ten segments is the work of a different director, and there are some big names here. Unfortunately, too many of the tales here are weak and some are simply embarrassing failures marked by the dreaded “comedy horror” stain. The positive thing is that, with ten parts, none of them last too long. Still, pretty dismal. 2/5.
