Terrible attempt at a set of stories...

The problem is that I've seen all of these films in their entirety, not broken down into 30 minute abridged flicks that seem to jump around from one scene to the next without cohesion or a sense of involvement. The characters seem to be empty shells just walking around in front of a camera.

There is no development of story whatsoever, just a series of random lines that do not even seem to go together. It is practically impossible to figure out what is really happening in any of these "stories" since two thirds of each film was removed. If you like B horror films, I highly recommend picking up the full length features on DVD, you will not be disappointed that way.
