Deadtime Stories

About This Movie

Deadtime Stories (2009) is a curious anthology that leans heavily into the horror roots with a unique twist—the three segments are introduced by George A. Romero, giving it a distinct voice. The stories themselves each carve out their own niche in the horror landscape. "Valley of the Shadow" offers a tense jungle setting, elevating the sense of danger as the protagonist navigates both the environment and her own fears. Meanwhile, "Wet" uses practical effects to deliver a visceral punch, showcasing the dread that comes from unexpected discoveries. The pacing varies, but there's a consistent undercurrent of dread throughout. It’s an odd blend, certainly not perfect, but it has this gritty charm that might resonate with collectors who appreciate the anthology format in horror.
