Shoo-wee! This is a major step up from most anthology horror films. Quality cinematography, writing, effects, acting, it's all here. Each tale is both gripping and palpable. There are elements of humor too. It's even got its own host between segments! Another great touch are the subtle nods to other segments that connect the different shorts together.

Honestly, it's a good grab bag of shorts wherein anyone will find something that tickles their fancies.

No idea what these shorts are titled as, so I came up with my own titles lol. Here are brief synopses:

1. The Agent: A screenplay agent with a deadline breathing down the back of his neck desperately searches for a quality screenplay to offer to his impatient client as a mysterious unkempt man keeps pushing a peculiar screenplay on him.

2. Entertainer: A man is interviewed about the loss of his wife: what of her estate; how will he go about dating again; and what about the family's lawsuit? Oh! That's quite the coffee table!

3. The Cameraman: A young man living at odds with his oppressive and denigrating mother strives to great lengths to create his own horror film.

4. It's My House: Showing up late for work again, a frazzled stock broker with performance issues discovers that he's on his last leg with his boss. To make matters worse, some strangers seem to have moved into his new home.

I remember watching TZ when younger and getting that slightly creeped out but fascinated feeling - I just couldn't look away but wasn't sure I wanted to see what came next. Well, Fever Dreams brought all that back and that sensation increased as the film unfolded. The emcee character from the first short is great at helping the viewer change gears from one short to the next. And a couple of the later shorts have unique stories that went to unexpected places. Really great suspenseful evening!

Fun, reminds me of the old Twilight Zone series. Looks great, stories are great. Leaves you thinking.

The direction, acting , and writing are well done. Well worth viewing.

Great anthology of creepy tales - highly recommended for suspense/horror junkies!

Very creepy and entertaining "dreams" that lead you right down the rabbit hole. Stellar casts and music appropriate to dialogue and story development. A trip for alternative reality. Would make Hitchcock proud. High recommend.

Found this based on the recommendation of a friend. The collection of suspenseful thrillers will certainly keep you on the edge of your seat. Strong performances throughout, led by the host of the show. Clearly well-loved and and well-made production.

Not made in Hollywood, and it doesn't matter: "Fever Dreams" is a surprisingly good film.

The stories are tight and focused, fresh and engaging, and provide a perfect balance of tension and humor as they move briskly along and deliver the knockout payoffs.

In "The Agent", Donald Sill and Jeff Briggs deliver stellar performances - authentic, edgy, tense - playing off each other in just the right balance to keep the viewer completely reeled in.

"The Entertainer" has a delightful twist and satisfying payoff, with Jason Caselli turning in a very solid performance.

"The Cameraman" is creepy good fun that's been masterfully shot and color-graded for a timeless Hitchcock feel.

And in "It's My House", R Keith Harris is really on top of his game in this ghoulish little vignette.

Other notes:

The exceptional musical score builds tension and emotion and is well-matched with the intentions and tone of each story.

The photography is outstanding, providing high production value on a limited budget. The camera angles, movement, and unexpected perspectives keep the viewer off-balance and uncomfortable - exactly what's needed to deliver a creepy and unsettling viewing experience.

Edit and Sound: top-notch, on-par with many high-dollar Hollywood productions.
