All in all, this is a bad horror and bad comedy film.

Sickly twisted in parts, but not worth a rental.

One of the worst anthology horror movies I've ever seen. Only one story is any good, but the others are stupid and not even scary.

I saw this in a very horrible print. The fairy tales were sort of raped. A bad storyteller would make up that kinda stories. I mean who will talk about "Adult Thingy" in front of a child. He wanted to hear something miserable but not a porn story or whatever. The ending was weird. This was no near watchable. Don't recommend this to watch.
