Keith R. Phipps’ Horror Show anthology, “Dr. Saville’s Horror Show”, promises an experience reminiscent of the classic Creepshow. This collection consists of three stories, woven together with a wraparound style. However, in the saturated world of anthology horror movies, creators face the challenge of delivering something truly distinctive and cohesive. It isn’t essential to go the extra mile and introduce an additional spokesperson and tale that seamlessly connects all the narratives. The best anthologies can elevate their impact and leave a lasting impression on horror enthusiasts without them.
Sometimes less is more. Like with V/H/S that included stop motion videos created by a character from one of the episodes. In Creepshow, the framing device for the short films is a comic book character. He reads the stories before they play out one by one. In Dr. Saville’s Horror Show, the Doctor maintains an air of spokesperson. He lives in a lair and wears a mask that has no mouth hole. As an intermission between thematically linked tales about ‘being careful what you wish for,’ we are brought back to this torture-centric dungeon. It’s here that Dr. Saville lavishes the audience with his belief system.
Be Careful What You Wish For
As a first scenic tour into thinking about doing things we shouldn’t, Michael sits in a bar alone waiting for a storm to pass. A blonde woman sends a drink to his table and joins him for a drink shortly after. Michael doesn’t take this lady up on her offer to follow her to a nearby hotel. he does however quietly utter to himself;
” I wish I could”
Quote from Dr. Saville’s Horror Show

Utilizing an array of restrictive and instrumented contraptions, the doctor seeks to trigger his recent experience and unlock his deepest sins. Through the series of short films curated to provoke recollection, Michael is presented with glimpses of Saville’s collection of trauma.

“Consume”
Understandably, the prospect of getting married can be stressful for some. Finding the right partner can indeed be a challenge. It’s important to take the time to find someone who truly connects with you.
As for the bioengineered worm and the pill promising to achieve your desired weight, Anna forgets the crucial approach of caution and dives in head first. Her revelry in the instantaneous results quickly turns to horror when the worm inside her dictates what she has to eat next.
“Consume,” is drowning in inspiration from the works of David Cronenberg, known for his unique style and exploration of body horror. Its incorporation of well-executed gore certainly adds to the visceral experience. However, be prepared for some intense and unsettling moments. The film doesn’t shy away from graphic imagery and crunching sounds. For a 2024 body horror movie watch Replicator next.
Just like the dark humor of Sheila’s finger-eating scenes in “Santa Clarita Diet,” “Consume” seems to embrace grotesque elements which only adds to its appeal.
