6/10

Okay anthology horror movie, the first one, "Lot 249", was the best due to the cast (Slater, Buscemi, Moore) and also enjoyed "Lover's Vow" even if the animatronic effects weren't the best. However, "Cat from Hell" really dragged the film as a whole down, almost dozed off a couple of times during that segment, although the ending of that one was gross. The wrap-around story was fine with a fun conclusion I guess. 3.5/5
