So when I found out Mr. Creepypasta had some involvement with this film my interest piqued a bit. Had high hopes. What we got was the film equivalent of writing names and references on a wall, throwing dook at it and seeing what would stick. Make some random 8-bit game screen that loops featuring the words "Ben Drowned". Have a body stand up behind the main character in the wrap around wearing a sanguine stained white hoodie with long black hair - but don't show the face. Also, the story jumby was a short that came out in 2014. Saw it myself in 2016 when I was still big into this genre...?
This could have been so much better had the stories been better curated. If you were going to make your own stories to anthologize maybe don't give us wish equivalent characters like trenchcoat slendy, Jerf Duh Keelah, and LAZY Ben Drowned reference. Slapping the movie with the title "creepypasta" doesn't hide the fact that none of these were based off of actual creepypastas we would have liked to have seen if they were based off of them at all - and that you had to figure out some way to incorporate references in there but not get the rights to the stories.
I'm only giving this two stars because I feel as if this may have been something that was initially filmed during the pandemic but having the knowledge that at least one of these anthology stories is damn near a decade old doesn't really bode well for that theory.
If you want something revolving around creepypastas that's actually worth the watch - Shudder has the entire series of channel zero streaming as we speak.
Plot summary

Wanted so so badly to like this film..
budget horror
Like the title says it is a low budget horror with not much going on. I don't even know what the story was. It was clearly an amateur filmmaker trying his luck and 99% of the film is just average film making and a waste of time watching but unlike really bad films this one does build up a little bit of atmosphere. And one scene that does live up to its name. There's a 5 minute clip that is well worth watching but like with any horror you can't just skip to the good bit. You do need to let the atmosphere build which this director does manage to do. I just wish there was a better coherent story and far more creepy pasta scenes! The one where the boogeyman comes out to play, great. Could compete with the film Sinister. Unfortunately far too little and no story leaves this not worth recommending and a measly score of 4 stars. Still, props to the director for making one very good horror scene. He has potential and I wish he'd made more use of that. Not many can made a horror that gives you the creeps. Like not even jeepers creepers did that. Still jeepers creepers was far more entertaining. So it's not all just about the one perfect creepy scene.
Awful
Tons of small stories that are all basically the same. There's nothing but bad jump scares and no story lines. The acting is bad. The special effects are bad. There's nothing good I can say about this film. It's barely even original since it's basically a much worse version of VHS. At least VHS had stories that made sense or decent monsters. So much of this makes no sense. Don't watch this. It's not even funny bad, just basically if an amateur 17 year old YouTuber tried to make a horror movie. Each story in the anthology follows a character who gets stalked by a monster and ends when the monster jumps out at them.
