Late night radio host Rod (James Wright) entertains the audience of his
phone-in show with macabre stories from all corners of the spectrum:
There's the woman (Marem Hassler) with a soul so dark she has to wear the
skin of others to be seen even, there's Mary (Stella Charrington), whose
mother trains her to photograph corpses, much against her will, then
there's hairdresser Silvio (David Nerman) who's so convinced he's
responsible for the fame of a Hollywood starlet (Ingrid Falaise) that he
uses some horrible means to convince her of it, there's killer Willie
Bingham (Kevin Dee), who has killed a woman and who is to be punished in a
novel legal procedure pay for his crime by his limbs being amputated one
by one to ultimately serve as a bad example to be exhibited in high
schools, there's also dancer Marta (Marina Romero), who seems to share her
apartment with a particularly nasty demon, while another demon (Strange
Dave) lures a little girl (Abbi Chally) to the corpse of her mother
(Mellisa Chally), there's the hunter (Ramón G. del Pomar) whose prey just
happens to be a naked woman (María Forqué) - who might be more than just
that -, and then there's Lydia (Rachel Winters), who's spooked shitless by
some ghost who has gained entrance to her apartment. While telling all
these stories, Rod more and more notices there's something wrong in his
studio, creepily wrong. And it all has to do with his own past wrongdoings
...
A Night of Horror: Nightmare Radio is a very eclectic mix of
horror shorts from all around the world, only loosely held together by its
framing story (that has its own pay-off though), shorts that differ vastly
in style and approach - but are all put together very slickly and all push
the horror factor of the movie as a whole. As a result you'll probably
like some segments more than others, but you will be hard-pressed not to
see the inherent quality in all of them as these shorts seem to be
carefully chosen by fans of well-made horror. And the result is a pretty
awesome ride through the darker corners of its makers' minds that's sure
to please the dedicated horror fan.
