Down a seedy city street in her neighborhood, young Enola Penny is obsessed with what appears to be a long abandoned theatre. One night, she sees that the front door is slightly ajar and impulsively decides to sneak inside. But there in the dark, decrepit auditorium, a show unlike any other unfolds before her eyes. Its host is an eerie human puppet named Peg Poett who will introduce Penny to six tales of the bizarre: A couple traveling in a remote part of the French Pyrenees cross paths with a lustful witch; A paranoid lover faces the wrath of a partner who has been pushed to her limit; The Freudian dreams of an unfaithful husband blur the lines between fantasy and reality; The horrors of the real world are interpreted through the mind of a child; A woman addicted to other people's memories gets her fix through the vitreous fluid of her victims' eyeballs; And a perverse obsession with sweets turns sour for a couple in too deep. But as the stories unfold, something much stranger is happening to Enola. Something irreversible and horrific. Something that awaits its next audience in THE THEATRE BIZARRE.

| CraveOnlineWilliam BibbianiAn impressively good hit-to-miss ratio ... Entirely worth a horror fan's time, but is probably too erratic and violent a film for the casual enthusiast. |
| KPBS.orgBeth AccomandoThe Theatre Bizarre is a delicious horror buffet with some gore-geous treats and gruesome confections. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris HewittAbsent anything scary or even shocking, the only question is why Enola sticks around for all six shorts. Or why the filmmakers think we would. |

| User ReviewJosef HThis was really fun to watch! Great compilation!! |
| User ReviewMike JAn extremely well rounded anthology film. You will find everything you need. Take it as a ride. Go for it. Enjoy each moment. Some will scare you, make you laugh, sit at the edge of your seat, touch you, turn away in disgust and laugh again. It's well worth it to see it. |
| User ReviewChris RNot many movies are worth remembering, this one however, seems to have the potential of being a "cult classic." It's one of the few that I actually found creepy and recommend as a "must see." |
| User ReviewDesiree EDeliciously awe-inspiring! Couldn't look away! |
| User ReviewJulie GBeautifully horrible. A must for only the truest horror fan |
