Double Feature:
Film 1 and 2 deal with a collection of [very] short horrific stories,
each culminating with the final utmost scream from a female victim. The
stories - while drenched in fear - are essentially unimportant. Rather,
the filmmaker is more interested in creating a series of events that will
dramatically reflect each character's inner turmoil, ranging from frustration
to happiness, from anguish to hysteria, from surprise to [of course] fear.
Both films in this double feature contain a number of stories (total of
25, ranging from a couple minutes to slightly "longer"
presentations) covering a wide range of narratives, all ending with a
gutwretnching scream.
