2.5/5

A film made up of flashes of goodness interspersed with a whole lot of half-hearted mediocrity.

B-

An uneven but overall effective horror portmanteau that is ably directed by the London-born Freddie Francis.

A really fun effort from Amicus that once more follows their anthology model. Our host is a devilishly fun Burgess Meredith, also featuring genre regulars Jack Palance, Peter Cushing, Barbara Ewing and Michael Ripper. Direction by Freddie Francis and stories written by Robert Bloch (Psycho) lend this a consistent tone of horror and irony. While not as great as their later effort Tales from the Crypt, it's still a very entertaining and atmospheric, early 70s English horror flick none the less.

I love the Amicus anthology films, and this one is better than most of them. The first and last stories are the reason to see this one. I love seeing Jack Palance pop up in it, and he gives a great performance. I really liked portions of the score as they reminded me of The Twilight Zone quite a bit. Nothing can ever top Tales From the Crypt, but this is one of the better of the omnibus films.
