Anthology Horror films are always a mixed bag of good and not-so-good segments. 'Sinphony' is no exception but in its entirety, this was a pretty entertaining collection. These new filmmakers have taken on the challenge of telling their stories in a relatively short time but all segments are technically sound and well-written. Several could have used a bit more than ten minutes to flesh out their story but overall they were well done.
The acting in 'Sinphony' was good across the board and I for one look forward to seeing what all involved have to offer going forward. If you like a good horror anthology then be sure to check it out when it opens in theaters and on VOD/Digital Platforms on October 21, 2022. I had a go time watching "Sinphony' and was left wanting more from these talented filmmakers.
