Three episodes under the banner of horror: in the first, a honeymooning couple decides to stop in the middle of a forest with their camper and is attacked by horrible creatures; in the second, a young girl is lured, via the internet, by a dangerous maniac; in the third, a boy relives a massacre that occurred a few years earlier. A classic episodic film that however has the merit of being more original and having a more horror touch than usual. The best is the last episode, the second is not bad either while the first is the least engaging. Smooth.
