Reviews: "The first movie of a trilogy always sort of suffers. It opens up a lot of possible plot lines and has to take a lot of time introducing characters and situations. Lord of the Rings suffered in much the same way, ending in a sort of open way. Somehow, I think Cold City escaped that ….” Chavez review.

Director: David Lynch
Genre: Horror
Release Date: October 25th
Pitch: This film is three stories rolled into one movie. The concept was done to fit three short stories into a horror collection. Similar to "My Favorite Horror Tales" books, these are three original stories.
The first short-movie is about a mental patient escaping from the hospital. As he slaughters his way into the free world, the residents of a picture perfect neighborhood have no idea that their lives are about to be turned upside down. Bloodshed and murder becomes a theme of the night as the madman terrorizes the citizens, slaughtering anyone who he comes into contact with. The survivors of the massacre must band together to help capture the maniac. Their lives depend on it.
The second short-movie is a fantasy/horror blend. Dark magic makes its way into the lives of many as a young self-proclaimed necromancer comes apon an ancient evil spell book. Inside are the keys to summon the undead. When he completes the spell, even he has no idea of the problems that arise. He too is taken under the spells control and leads the zombies to war against a group of teens that must protect the lives of their families and friends with their own.
The third short-movie rounds off the night with a lighter touch. To settle the gore-filled evening, a dark comedy interacts with the emotions of the fans. A pianist finds himself in possession of a mystical pair of gloves, or so he believes at the start. The gloves lend talent like no other musician of this era, sky-rocketing him into fame and fortune. The downfall is that the gloves are possessing him. When the night falls and the work is over, the gloves go to play. Stealing anything worth value, they lead him into his ultimate downfall.
