Call me old and out of touch, but prior to watching Sinphony, Iâd never heard of âClubhouse,â a social media app where you can meet and chat. Doing a quick glance at the web page, I detected nothing to suggest anything remotely horror related. Perhaps thereâs scary stuff floating around there somewhere, but I wasnât compelled to dig any deeper by downloading the app. Iâll just stick with Facebook, thank you, where people my age feel more at home.
But Clubhouse is the brand name attached to the title of this horror anthology, which consists of nine tales by various directors, none of whom Iâm familiar with. Like most anthology films - and weâve been getting a lot of them lately - consistency is the main issue. But while none of these tenuously-connected stories hit it out of the park, a few show some creative spark.

Some of the other stories are less engaging, either because theyâre predictable, lack panache or fail to stick the landing. The worst of the lot are the two bookending tales, which unnecessarily try to establish a connecting thread throughout the film. Still, I wouldnât go so far as to say any of them are truly terrible (even those featuring laughably clumsy special effects). Ultimately, Sinphony works about half the time, and for a low-budget anthology film, thatâs a decent batting average.
