Anthologies Pt. 2 : Not really anthologies

Most recently I watched a movie called Demonic Dolls. Which is why it is important to relay how some anthologies aren't really anthologies. Some people take movies (full length features) and shorten them and throw them together.

I've scene two or three like this. The issue is sometimes they don't care what they cut and suddenly the short story makes little to no sense.

Another issue is how the way the movie was made, it wasn't meant to be cut down. After the beginning, you go from kill scene to kill scene with no build up and then straight to the end.

While we are on anthologies lets differentiate them from intertwining stories. Anthologies can have a common linking factor in them but they survive on their own.

Intertwining stories are ones that are leading up to the conclusion. I guess it's like Touch. Anyway this is short so I'll right something better soon.
