3/10
Sort of interesting, but not worth it if you like closure

I'll watch just about any anthology. And I'm very forgiving. If you don't like a story, there's another one right behind it.

This is a strange collection, since most of the stories seem to be roughly the same. A woman in an apartment encounters something menacing, typically something supernatural. It ends with her being grabbed, or something similar.

There are a few other stories, and some with reasonable variations. Sometimes a woman is not the victim. At least one story takes place outside.

I find the description of it being inspired by nightmares to be an interesting caveat. These may have been inspired by nightmares, but the result is that none of the stories offer much of a conclusion. There's a setup, then a jump to end things on, and that's it. Normally, no explanation of anything. Why is this person being haunted? Does it matter?

There are two little things of note, both having to do with one of the last stories - The Ball Lord.

First, this is the story that succeeds the best at suggesting a dreamlike state. The two characters argue, but they change subjects throughout, and rarely make much sense.

At the end of the story, there is a brief flash of text on the screen. With some effort, I managed to pause on it, and it's a quote. I can't remember it - it didn't seem very relevant, but I could be mistaken.

Both of these make the story one of the more interesting ones. That isn't to say it's worth tracking down.

If you like internet horror shorts, cheaply made and sort of like generic creepypasta stuff, then this is probably the right thing for your tastes.
