George should be ashamed

Warning: Spoilers
When i first looked at this title on IMDb it had a user rating of over 7 but no reviews! i can only assume that people who worked on the movie rated it but couldn't bring themselves to write a positive review. the movie is an anthology of three short films each equally as bad as the next, the acting is diabolical, the scripts are pathetic and the direction truly awful, George A Romero's only involvement is to introduce each film a'la cryptkeeper (i hope the money was good, because it will put a big dent in his reputation).

1, a woman goes on an expedition in a rain forest to find her husband and bad things happen. (the acting in this one is particularly bad, and the rain forest seems to be inhabited by one native who's a White guy wearing war paint??)

2, a man finds boxes on a beach and an evil mermaid appears. (if you've only got 25 mins to tell a story pick up the pace)

3, a boy thinks he's a vampire so his mother calls a doctor. ( the best of the three but still flawed, too little too late I'm afraid)

If you like anthology horrors go old school and get a copy of Tales from the crypt or Creepshow.
