Anyone else watched this yet? It's a made for Netflix movie. Kinda bizarre, but entertaining at the same time.

Did you like it Hawg?

I may be a little twisted, I actually liked it. But my wife absolutely hated it.

I liked the first story but to be honest I don't remember the rest of them so they didn't make much of an impression on me.

I finally watched this a while back, and then again recently, because it was so damn good! The only one I found mildly disturbing was the "look Ma, no arms, no legs" thespian that his daddy ended up taking for a swim. Bad karma off that one, gents. Really enjoyed Buster, and the old prospector as well. "She got rattled" was kind of an O.Henry-ish twist to it as well. Great flick.
