As the evil Dr. Saville tortures his latest victim, he weaves together three dark and twisted tales in this horror anthology with a simple warning: Be careful what you wish for, as you never know who might be listening. Let’s take a look at Dr. Saville’s Horror Show (2022).
In the movie, Michael is a loving husband and father who finds himself stranded in an airport lounge during a winter storm. When a mysterious woman buys him a drink and invites him back to her hotel room, his mind wanders from his wedding vows for the briefest of moments and he blacks out. He wakes up strapped to a chair in the dark lair of the mysterious Dr. Saville. Dr. 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. As the stories unfold and the torture becomes more unbearable, Michael finally confesses his wish to Dr. Saville and is confronted with a horrific revelation.
The movie consists of three segments.

“It’s Complicated”: A picky and recently separated bachelor awakes one morning to find the woman of his dreams curled up on his kitchen floor in a puddle of black slime. As their whirlwind romance escalates, he discovers a dark side to his new lover which causes him to rethink his views on dating and what he thought was love at first sight.
