He wakes up strapped to a chair in the dark lair of the mysterious Doctor Saville.
Doctorr Saville tortures and manipulates Michael to coerce a confession from him. As he slowly digs deeper into Michael’s mind and fractures his reality, Saville weaves together three dark and twisted stories with a common theme.

Reviews:
“Dr Saville’s Horror Show is the rare example of indie horror anthology done right. In fact, it may be the best one I’ve ever seen, at least from filmmakers who aren’t already well-known […] While it may not stand up to the more well-known, higher-budget anthologies that we all know and love, it’s well-done, surprisingly gory, and genuinely entertaining throughout.” The Horror Revolution
