Found footage anthology goes back to the '90s. FantasticFest

). Roberts has been able to hit some surprisingly tactile and effective concept executions in the past, but this story about a young sorority-hopeful who voluntarily gets locked in a coffin to prove her worth to her potential sisters just has too little going for it, besides a decent sense of claustrophobia.

Staying on the lackluster side of things is The Gawkers by Tyler MacIntyre about a group of peeping teens who become obsessed with the girl across the street. This American Pie style riff is clever in theory, but the length/build-up vs. the actual payoff makes for some diminished results. They do manage to work the beginning of this story into acting as the notoriously difficult wrap-around for the whole film, cleverly sidestepping what is usually the most tedious aspect of the series.

The first of the two strongest segments is “To Hell and Back” by Joseph and Vanessa Winter, about a Y2K ritual demon summoning that accidentally sends two friends straight to the underworld. Great production design, frightening demons with neat makeup and prosthetic work, and a cheeky sense of humor make this a fantastic closer.

The obvious standout of the whole bunch, however, comes smack dab in the middle of the collection with Flying Lotus’ “Ozzy’s Dungeon.” It’s the longest segment but earns its length through unpredictably manic shifts of genres and tone, starting as a sharp, dark skewering of children’s reality game shows à la Legends of the Hidden Temple.

Flying Lotus gets close to reaching the heights of Timo Tjahjanto’s frenzied cyberpunk freak-out and Chloe Okuno’s dread-inducing subterranean expedition from, though the overall product is more inconsistent this time around. However, fans who know what they’re in for are going to feel at home with yet another assemblage of shorts ideal for a Halloween party. Turn out the lights, turn up the volume — have a good time.
