The basic story to Trapped Ashes is Seven strangers on a Hollywood movie studio tour are trapped inside an infamous House of Horror and forced to tell their most terrifying stories to get out alive. So in a Tales from the crypt style 4 different stories are told. Each of the stories and the wrap around story are done by a different director: Sean S. Cunningham, John Gaeta, Monte Hellman, Ken Russell and Joe Dante each has a fairly large resume in the horror genre.The problem is that the whole thing was pretty weak. None of the stories were very engaging. For a horror film that was supposed to have humorous moments it was neither scary nor funny (not even in an ironic sense). The effects were so poorly done (it looked like a cheap episode of the outer limits). I don't even think big fans of the directors will be a fan of this one.
