Storyline:
"A teenager is abducted and forced to tell the scariest tales she knows, leading to this anthology of four stories: a brother and sister are under siege while home alone; a killer escapes police custody mid-flight; step-sisters take plastic surgery to nightmarishly macabre extremes; a paramedic and mother standoff over her infected young daughter."
Review:
"Horror Stories" – too bad about the mundane title – is an anthology from the elite horror country South Korea. Personally, I would have preferred any next new horror film from South Korea to revolve on a serial killer fed up with the annoying trend of Gangnam Style and going out on a s*dist rampage to butcher everyone who performs the stupid little dance moves... including, of course, the massacre of the original performer during the grand finale! But alas, no Gangnam slashing just yet... "Horror Stories" is a collective of four relatively young and still debuting writers/directors with each one or two films on their resumes. I sincerely doubt that this largely prototypic and unmemorable omnibus will become their jumping board towards international success, but it's nevertheless a worthwhile viewing experience in case you're a fan of Asian horror and/or horror anthologies in general.''
