Not the best anthology film but it's not bad
Sluggish, bland and generally boring stories...
Normally I am not overly keen on horror anthologies, as the vast majority of them are questionable affairs. But when I stumbled upon this 2013 Asian horror anthology titled "3 Doors of Horrors", I opted to give it a chance, as I am quite fond of the Asian cinema in general.
Sure, I had never heard about "3 Doors of Horrors", so I didn't know what I was in for, nor did I have any expectations to writers and directors Leroy Low, Ken Kin Ng and Edmund Yeo.
The segments were generally sluggishly paced and devoid of anything scary. Well, perhaps if you are a newcomer to Asian horror, then you'll find something scary here. But as a lifelong horror aficionado, then this was a mere walk in the park.
My somewhat limited exposure to the Malaysian cinema meant that I wasn't familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list. But that didn't matter, as that is actually something I enjoy when I watch a movie. However, despite of the stories being bland, then the acting performances were generally good.
The effects in "3 Doors of Horrors" were generally good. And since this was a horror anthology, of course having good special effects spoke well in favor of the movie. So thumbs up for that.
There were some nice and interesting shots throughout the course of the movie. And that cinematography definitely added something enjoyable to the overall impression of the movie.
Something that I did like about the anthology, was the way that each segment was subtly tied together with the next segment.
I have to say that "3 Doors of Horrors" turned out to be another run-of-the-mill questionable and boring horror anthology, as so many other horror anthologies have a tendency of turning out. So I wasn't the least bit impressed by what writers and directors Leroy Low, Ken Kin Ng and Edmund Yeo had to offer.
Ultimately a swing and a miss. My rating of "3 Doors of Horrors" lands on a generous three out of ten stars. One star for each door, a shame the title wasn't "10 Doors of Horrors", huh?
