Sr. Fettes or Vampus (Saturnino Garcia) is an old man who lives a secluded life outside of the realms of society. He gets visited every so often by nosy social media influencers who want to write about him, doctors who think he’s too old to be living by himself and even the police who want to know if he’s heard about their disappearances.

All Vampus wants to do is to be left alone to tell his stories about people who got too close and paid the price, even if it does mean a little killing along the way.

Vampus Horror Tales is a Spanish horror anthology which takes many writers and directors and lets them tell their own tales of terror. Four short stories are told and shot in beautiful black and white as they all play out from different perspectives.

Starting out with a bride and her ex on her wedding day which turns deadly, then a couple who go on a theme park ride which turns out to be their last, a man who kidnaps a blind woman and a pair who try to investigate a virus.

Each story is different from the last, although they do all seem to share a common theme outside of the horror genre. Stories about two people being stuck in an impossible situation take on many forms and for the most part they are original and thrilling with complete endings which doesn’t often happen in anthology films.

However, out of the four stories, one which tells of a blind woman as a victim is the weakest of the bunch. The tried and tested format of a disabled woman pleading for her life is a cliché and unoriginal. Although well played by both actors, it turns out to be predictable and nothing new.

Vampus is the one that holds it all together though and not unlike the Cryptkeeper, Vampus is an engaging and darkly enjoyable host as he uses dark humour to suitably set the tone. An anthology which may not entirely separate the voices of its writers and directors, but more Vampus would be a delight for old school horror fans.
