Title: WHEREFORE ART THOU ROMERO
Review: Although I've never been a big fan of George Romero (except for the delightful CREEPSHOW), it's hard to believe he's involved with this dreadful film.Consisting of three short tales, DEADTIME STORIES suffers from inane scripts, inadequate production values and atrocious acting. And they're dull and unimaginative---and not the least bit scary.VALLEY OF THE SHADOW throws an attractive woman into the jungle where her better half disappeared years before. Seems there's some kind of goofy plants and some (we only see one) cannibals killing the expedition party. It all comes to head (pun intended) with a pitiful resolution.WeT wastes Nick Mancuso in a tale about a deadly mermaid. Boooring!Then there's HOUSECALL where it's so dark you can barely see anything but get talked to death. Even a blind man can see its "twist" coming.Obviously riding on Romero's name, the film has none of his skills--even his narrative prologues fall flat.WARNING: There are two more collections coming!!!
