The actual viewing effect of this film is worthy of praise, and the setting is rich in imagination. Each short story directly refers to the deepest fear in the protagonist's heart.

Many monster settings and plots are refreshing. Things that weren't scary in life originally appear to be full of scary in the film. The makeup of monsters can make people feel disgusted physically, or psychologically, or both physically and psychologically. With the approaching atmosphere, the atmosphere of depression and terror increases sharply.
"Horror Stories Telling in the Dark" resembles the country version of "Death Note" and the youth version of "Reaper Is Coming". If it weren't for the original novel to be written very early, it would be easy to be considered a master. The novel was written more than 30 years ago, maybe "Death Note" and "The God of Death is Coming" are all stealing their lessons from this.
