Directed by Robert J. Massett, this gory anthology includes two heart-stopping stories. The first, "When Shadows Lie Darkest," follows an unlucky man without the ability to distinguish nightmares from day-to-day life. Things get more complicated for him when he crosses paths with a very real serial killer. In "Blackout," a bored housewife is forced to kill her sleazy husband in self-defense. During the police investigation, she meets a prankster songwriter whose intentions aren't as pure as she's led to believe.
