“All the Creatures Were Stirring” is a very Lynchian movie with some touches of good humor and plenty of scary moments.

Seasonal vignettes were well-combined and smartly put together by a group of remarkable filmmakers, plus exceptional performers.
When a blind date goes wrong, the atmosphere of this tiny, little creepy theater plays a series of obscure and bizarre tales by a group of funky performers.

From the beginning, the couple’s interaction with the workers and patrons is awkwardly funny.
A mute presenter introduces every story when they sit to enjoy the show. She has the look of a character in David Lynch’s movies.

The stories are rich and fascinating. It begins with a mind-numbing Christmas office party that turns into a bloody Russian roulette game.
A late-shopping madness ends up in a psycho “Chupacabras” eating people in the parking lot. A not-so-good neighbor’s experience transforms into a twisted version of Charles Dickens’s “Christmas Carol.” A dead deer avenges itself. Finally, a surreal extraterrestrial adventure at a friend’s dinner table gives closeness and hope to another couple.

“All the Creatures Were Stirring” is a creepy, weird, and even frightening anthology, and at the same time, it is fun to watch.
This independent horror flick is reminiscent of the TV Series “Tales from the Crypt.” A show from the 1980’s that I loved as a teen.
