Trapped Ashes

(2006)

Trapped Ashes is a collection of four short horror stories by different directors, all encased within a framing device that involves a studio tour and a famous haunted house set. It played a few foreign film festivals, and is now available on DVD in the USA.

Six people receive invitations for a VIP studio tour. Tour bus driver Henry Gibson picks them up at the gate. The first stop is outside the fence of a haunted house that is usually off-limits to tours. The passengers beg, and he allows them to enter. They soon find themselves trapped in a room with no exit, and he convinces them that the only way out might be to tell very personal horror stories.

The first story-teller is Rachel Veltri, who tells the story of her blood-eating breast implants. First, we see a body double with Rachel's head grafted onto the torso for the "before" breasts, then there are several shots of prosthetic breasts. Finally, she shows her real ones in the shower.

The second story is told by Lara Harris, who was visiting Japan with her architect husband and ended up involved with a satanic monk who tried to imprison her in Buddhist hell. She shows her breasts and buns.

Story three is about a friendship between a screenwriter and a director, and the vampire woman who separated them.

Finally, the fourth tale is about a woman whose twin was a tape worm.

None of the four were my sort of material.

IMDb: 5.1.
