Bruckner's "Amateur Night," the standout of the bunch, opens the
anthology with a frat party night gone very wrong. When a trio of heavy
drinkers take a creepy goth girl back to their motel, they fail to
realize her taste for human blood (or the possibility that she might not

into the doorway to a terrified victim's subjectivity.
While "Amateur Night" essentially punishes a group of hedonists for
documenting their careless exploits, Radio Silence's "10/31/98" takes
the opposite approach, following a group of well-meaning friends on a
Halloween outing when they discover a sacrifice in progress.
