Four reasons to watch this movie; 1) Your kids wont eat their dinner, 2) Your life is miserable and you would rather drink than attend your own daughters birthday party, 3) You and your friends feel like hiking this weekend, 4) You have babied your son and now he is a dick!  Well, the ploy to market this film as a compilation of horror films directed only by women and casting only female roles was unnecessary as the film was actually quite good.  I am a fan of the anthology movies and the horror genre of course so I enjoyed all of this film.  The stories were not so obvious and left a lot to the imagination.  There were some disturbing parts that weren't so in your face that kept you thinking all the way through.  Although it was a tad low budget, it is definitely worth the watch.  One review I read said it was the biggest waste of time with no actual sense behind anything the stories told.  I say go back to watching The Fast and the Furious, and stay out of the thinkers world.  The acting was all pretty good, especially the birthday party segment which was darkly comical.  If you are a fan of the genre and like storied movies like Creepshow, and 4 Rooms give this a shot.

FYI:  During the filming 2 of the original female directors dropped out reducing it to only 4 stories.
