Tales to Tell in the Dark (DVD)

A decomposing cleric showcases three short films of terror and mutilation. A man, woman, and her pregnant daughter are escaping a countryside teeming with zombies until their van breaks down and they must survive on foot in a visceral homage to golden age Italian zombie films; another man is sliced to death by a woman in a hotel room, and one year later, another man named Janus seeks a room at the same inn and suffers a night of torment, with only traces of a woman left at daybreak -- whom he then meets at a nearby cemetery. In the final tale, a series of texts interrupt a jogger, who finds a murdered woman -- after being questioned by the police, he returns home where bizarre events have already started to unfold.
