Will I watch it again?  No.


Good luck finding any information about this video more than what's listed above.  The DVD looks like a VHS transfer and the credits were so fuzzy I couldn't make out who was in the cast on some of these.  This is a collection of six short films by New Zealand filmmakers. In that way you could consider this an anthology but there isn't anything tying them together so you just watching the films with their credits rolling after each one.  Some are horror-ish while others have elements of fantasy, comedy, drama and so on.  It's worth watch because some of the stories have interesting ideas and are well executed.  But with the good you also get some that might not be to your liking.   Like a lot of anthologies, it's a mixed bag.  As I said, the picture quality was pretty bad.  These films look more like they were made a decade earlier so maybe they were just released in 2002?  I wouldn't mind seeing it again but only if a really nice copy showed up.  Otherwise, I'll just be movin' on.
