A risky bet that is sustained in the performings to build a horror anthology movie. It works just as well as a comedy as as a tribute to the genre, and it finds its main reinforcements in the actors to achieve a dynamic and entertaining proposal, although with some imbalances and an excessive length. It must be praised the incontestable tribute to horror literature as the origin of the audiovisual representation.

Really enjoyed my time with this one! Scare Me is a witty hodgepodge of mini stories and creative vignettes tied loosely together around two writers at differing stages of their careers. Solid comedic beats with some clumsy drama makes for a very original comedy-horror, but a somewhat shoehorned ending takes off some of the edge built over the runtime. An easy recommendation if you can see past some of the bumps and bruises. And as a personal aside, Aya is just great and as sassy as ever in this. Been a big fan since I discovered her in You're The Worst. Think I'll watch anything she's in going forward.

This could very well have been a play or an audio-drama. It didn't NEED to be a film, but it was fine in that format. I watched mostly because I'll see anything Aya Cash is a part of, and she's great in this film. Her main costar, Josh Ruben, is also pretty solid, having great chemistry with Cash. The film itself is mostly the two of them telling stories to each other and bantering. Chris Redd shows up for about 20 minutes to spice up this two-hander, but again, it's still people sitting around and talking. I was never bored, but your mileage may vary depending upon how much visual stimulation you need in your films.

Given "Scare Me" takes place mostly in a small winter cabin, the movie rests squarely on the shoulders of a very small cast. Aya Cash, a recent standout of Amazon's "The Boys" season 2, is excellent in this tight, compact thriller about two authors (one successful, one struggling) trying to scare ea More

This reminded me of Gothic (1986) just being modernized.

So this movie was quite the journey, definitely something I haven't seen but it definitely give you an experience in storytelling among strangers.

Aya Cash can tell me scary stories anytime. She is quite good at it!
