Shudder

In this twisted cautionary tale, an unimpressive young stoner unknowingly leaves the airport with someone else’s luggage. Later that evening, after ‘indulging’, he notices movement from within the case. Upon inspection, he is horrified to discover a horribly contorted and mangled gentleman crammed inside. If that isn’t bizarre enough, the mysterious stranger regurgitates gold coins whenever subjected to pain. Being down on his luck financially, the young man, along with his selfish girlfriend and opportunistic roommate, decide to reap the rewards. Naturally, they’re soon to learn a valuable lesson about greed.

The last four segments in this round-up are all excellent, perfectly encapsulating what horror fans' hopes had been for the revival. Who would have guessed that a genie story would be one of the highlights of the series? This offering is very tightly written, and nails exactly the tone that should have run through the series as a whole. The satisfying ending is certainly a strength of the segment.
