I feel that Raja Sen's review misleads you into believing that this is a fun movie. On the contrary, it is banal and predictable in terms of content and does not even scares my boots. The opener in the film is funny (not scary) and whatever scare-value it might have had is blown away as soon as you are introduced to the two main characters of mother and son. I believe even the director intended it to be funny as opposed to scary. The story by RGV has only irritatingly loud sound effects to startle you a few times but leaves you high and dry as soon as you start expecting something of it. A huge letdown for me since I was really expecting something good from the likes of Mr.AB here. Anyways, the same trend of jarry sound effects and letdown ending continues through all the following stories as each story leaves you unimpressed and wanting for more. The final story directed by Chekravarthy is the only one which appears interesting of the lot. Here you shoudln't expect any horror with a twist, its plain old school paranormal horror. But after all the banality you accept it with open arms. I read Tales from the crypt as a kid, so come on all ye directors, you can do better.
