Horror Stories III (2016)

Probably the worst of the three. I said what I said. Lol
The first story wasn't that great honestly. It was probably the worst of the three in this series. Wasn't much to it and more gross than anything.
The second story felt like Jeepers Creepers minus eating people but I loved the ending to it. Lol That was justice.
I probably liked the last one more even though it broke my heart. See, this is why I can never have a robot. I would feel so bad if anything happened to it because I would see it as human, lmbo.

Sorry this review is kinda shitty, there wasn't much I actually liked about this series and I had to have it all set to x2.0 just to get through it because the pace was so slow, I felt like it was dragging.

I was amazingly confused while watching and not because the plot itself was hard to understand, but rather the direction this series of movies took looking back at Horror Stories (2012). The first Horror Stories was not exactly an amazing movie, but in a nice way it mixed horrors or reality. Second went more abstract, but the stories still took place in a realm we know. This was just too edgy to comprehend.

I liked the idea and the introduction to the story. The scenes made me feel uncomfortable and anxious, but with the alien sex scene, it lost all the charm and became a joke of itself. I love dark humor and horror comedy, if done right. This was not.

[ Road Rage ]
Probably my favorite out of all the stories and the reason is quite simple: it was realistic. The things that truly may happen in real life are far scarier than anything abstract and supernatural. The plot by the end made a full circle and it was enjoyable to watch. The switch of characteristics between the characters was a good plot point, which was nicely executed.

This part was also well done, but made the leading story that much more confusing with the styling of the robots. That said, I always welcome a story that dwells on the themes of consciousness, free will and what makes a human human. When does the robot stop being a commodity to be used by people and should be treated as its own being deserving rights that will protect him? Since the story is short, it is not a deep dive into such a broad topic, but it highlights some interesting aspects.

Overall, I would say it was worse than the 1st movie, but better than the 2nd. The leading story was quite ridiculous and I truly disliked the costume and set design. It looked like a low-budget sci-fi movie.
