This movie screams low budget. The storyline of this anthology doesn’t really flow smoothly, but it keeps going in a direction of some sort.

There’s some very Blair Witch type scenes, and some very low end video blog snippets throughout the movie, as well as a range of quality fluctuations in the filming and lighting.

A book seems to be the most consistent element in the movie. Every story is prefaced with an image of a figure depicting one of the personalities of the many

For We Are Many is a horror anthology film released in 2019, directed by Lawrie Brewster, and produced by Hex Media. The film tells a series of seven interconnected stories of terror, with each story taking place in a different time and place. While some parts of the movie are true horror gems, others fall short, leaving the audience wanting more.

One of the strengths of the film is its unique framing device. The stories are told through the eyes of a mysterious woman named Lenore, who is played by Eilidh Collins. Lenore is a sin-eater, someone who absolves the sins of the dead by consuming their last meal. As she performs her duties, she is haunted by apparitions of the dead, which sets the tone for the film.

Each story jumps through time and location, from the trenches of World War I to a modern-day cult, and finally to an otherworldly realm. While each story is different, they are all connected by themes of death, madness, and the supernatural. The film has some genuinely unsettling moments, with some stories relying on jump scares and others on psychological horror.

One of the weaker points of the film is its uneven pacing. Some segments felt rushed, where others dragged on for too long. Additionally, some of the stories felt predictable, with tropes and twists that have been explored many times before in horror films.

Overall, For We Are Many is a mixed bag, with moments of brilliance that are unfortunately overshadowed by weaker elements. It’s not a perfect horror anthology, but it will satisfy fans of the genre who are looking for a good scare. If you enjoy horror movies with a unique twist, this one is worth checking out.
