Abigail; The Cheerleaders: Director and writer Natasha Halevi
Sweetie: Director Caitlin Josephine Hargraves and writer Madison Hetfield
Good Girl: Director Danin Jacquay, who wrote this with Matthew Vorce
The Walk: Director and writer Sarah Kopkin
Traditional: Director Francesca Maldonado and writer Lexx Fusco
Vasectopia: Director Kelly Nygaard and writer Natasha Halevi

Crone: Director and writer Mary C. Russell
mediEVIL: Director Monica Suriyage and writers Rowan Fitzgibbon and Lexx Fusco

There’s also plenty of talent on hand, including Alyssa Milano, Milana Vayntrub, Virginia Madson, Gina Tores, Jennifer Holland, Sean Gunn, Molly C. Quinn and many more.
Much like so many modern horror anthologies, this is somewhat of a mixed bag, but with its cause it nearly is critic proof. I did like the entry about sex contracts and in no way was I bored. But don’t go in expecting Amicus. Do expect to get upset. Instead of posting about it, do something about it.
