Very fun and way better than expected!
Bottom line: It's worth a watch. It delivers 4 silly horror stories without much gore and was a good time.
A Comedy Of Horrors was pleasantly surprising. We found it on prime video with no reviews and gave it a shot and I'm really glad we did. Everything felt polished enough for acting, production, lights, sounds, etc. No complaints I can remember.
It's an anthology: 3/4 of the shorts felt pretty good and the 4th one felt alright. None of them knocked my socks off and they all had some flaws, but it was a great experience and I'd love to see both a volume 2 and more of clown world from the first short. I forget the names, but:
Clown world is very fun and was the right choice to start the movie with
The second one is about a puppet and a real trip. It was surprising, though it got a little repetitive by the end
The bachelorette party was great, though not quite as fun as it could have been, which is probably due to time constraints
The last one about a super hero actor was the weakest. It was still alright, and had some funny moments, but it wasn't as good as the first 3.
The main "overworld" narrator story felt like they could have just removed it and it wouldn't have changed a thing.

Solid horror anthology
If you love campy horror like Trick R Treat, you'll like this movie. I sincerely hope they make a followup movie.
The only "negative" is that the framing device could have been more fleshed out, but honestly it's just a fun movie.
I will probably be showing this movie to my husband even though hes not a horror fan just because this movie makes the genre very accessible. Breaking the stories into smaller parts was really smart move and I believe that if this movie weren't set up as an anthology it wouldn't be nearly as successful as it is.
This would be a great horror movie to watch with friends as a part of Halloween or any other horror type celebration.
