Mr. Bartock’s new film is not just one story, but four all tied together by a group of actors trapped inside the House of Horror. Each of them must tell a story in order to survive. Sounds interesting enough, but who has trapped them there? If you are attending the Toronto Film Festival tomorrow, September 12th, you can catch segments directed by Ken Russell, Sean S. Cunningham, John Gaeta, Monte Hellman, and a wraparound segment by Joe Dante.
Dennis Bartok has another anthology up his sleeves called The Knives, which is set around a trio of sharp objects and the blood they spill. If the cutlery comes to life, tells a couple of jokes, and slits some teens up the middle, I’m sold! Throw in a song and dance routine and you’ve got a real winner.
