But I've actually seen this one. Correction -- I've seen part of it, though I'm not sure how it worked out that way (I'm thinking someone made a cheap VHS dub for me before the disc was available domestically? 'Cause I seem to remember seeing it on videotape, oddly enough). The segment I saw: the middle one, "Memories." I remember thinking it was a really slow-burn, moody creepy piece, although the whole time I was mainly unimpressed simply because I knew exactly where it was going. And, like you, I don't dig these kinds of stories. Specifically because they always end up going with the same big "reveal." I always shake my head, wondering if the writer thought no one had ever seen this kind of thing before in the history of film . . . sigh . . . . J.N.
