Contos Assombrosos

The creation of short stories with funny points has a long tradition in Anglo-American works, and within this competition, this series comes across as quite average. Its main weakness is the considerable inconsistency of the individual episodes, which is caused by the fact that a whole range of directors contributed to it. Slight ironic exaggeration prevails, and it is typical that the individual episodes mostly end with a happy ending, despite their horror setting, creating a rather relaxed atmosphere.
