WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
gwnightscream This 1986 horror anthology film tells of a scared kid who gets his uncle to tell him bedtime stories to help him sleep. He reads 3 bizarre tales based on Fairy tales like, "Little Red Riding Hood" and "Goldilocks & The 3 Bears. The first is about 2 witches and a peasant boy, the second is about a teenage girl encountering a werewolf and the third is about a family trio of criminals meeting a blonde psychopath. This was ok, but could've been better. The first 2 tales are kind of creepy and the third is goofy. You could give this a try at least once if you're into anthologies.
Jonny_Numb "Dead of Night"..."Trilogy of Terror"..."Creepshow"..."Twilight Zone: The Movie"..."Cat's Eye"...yessir, the horror genre has had its share of fine anthology films; films that crawl up your sleeve and slide down your spine to produce commendable shivers. "Deadtime Stories," however, is a horror anthology like no other, basically because it's utter CRAP. Via a lame, low-budget framing device, a 'randy' uncle tells his restless nephew fairy tales in an attempt to get the brat to go to sleep (I, however, had no trouble falling into a somnambulant state while watching this). The silly script takes a darkly farcical view of 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears,' 'Little Red Riding Hood,' and some story about two witches looking to resurrect their dead sister. While obviously low-budget, we do get some fairly impressive, "Hellraiser"-style FX work...but that's about all "Deadtime Stories" has to offer. The soundtrack, the fashions, and the hairstyles, combined with a script that's obnoxious when it wants to be funny, and eye-rollingly stupid when it wants to be scary, sends "Deadtime Stories" to a watery grave in the latrine of '80s nostalgia.
zombina To truly enjoy horror films I think you have to set other movie criteria aside. Let's face it horror wasn't created to win any Oscars, it is in a league of its own. Deadtime Stories is fun for what it is a b-horror movie with a cheesy, yet lovable twist. The whole idea of twisted fairy tales is intriguing and some of them are actually quite good re-telling in particular Little Red Riding Hood. Deadtime Stories is definitely not for the more serious movie watcher but if you enjoy gore with only the slightest bit of substance then buy it, you won't be sorry.
