EPISODE 1 - RENT
Probably the weakest of the episodes. Rather than scary, it was simply gross. Not only it contains animal cruelty, it feels like over the top edgy content, that crosses the lines just for the sake of the shock value. The plot itself was rather messy too, even with how short and simple it was.
EPISODE 2 - HUNGER
Horror with elements of comedy and a nice small plot twist that ends a well executed storyline. Saying that the opening made me confused would be an understatement, but everything made sense by the end. The narration made me laugh a few times, and even though it felt weird at times, it ended up as my favorite of the 4 stories.
EPISODE 3 - HIDE AND SEEK
Kids are creepy. Kids with masks are even creepier. This one gave me chills, but the shift of mood by the end caught me off guard and I'm not sure how I feel about it. Still, I enjoyed it a lot. The acting by the young cast was great, especially the main lead.
EPISODE 4 - TAXI
I'd view the story as a psychological themes packed in a horror genre. Pregnancy being a theme in horror is a bit off for me. I thought Rent was at times edgy, but one scene in Taxi was a whole new level of edge. I appreciate them trying to give the female lead a whole completed arc throughout these 20 minutes, and I think it's fair to say they have succeeded.
Overall, it's a short series of rather obvious horror stories that will not scare anyone. They are still entertaining to watch, some having nice twists to them.
