Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Oct 26
2/4
The wraparound segments in this horror anthology film are particularly worthless, as a historian (Vincent Price, later expressing regret at making the picture) relates four gruesome tales. Go to Full Review

macluvva @PoppaShawn Nov 4 I didn't expect to like it, but it was fun horror schlock AND Vincent Price in the wraparound segments. That's a hard combination for me to not enjoy. Not a great classic but was certainly way better than other movies that i struggled through! See more Kalissa H. @kali_416 Oct 20 Truly horror. Vincent Price is great in this. See more Jay H 07/20/2024 This is a seriously messed up movie. Necrophilia, incest, children who murder, children who are murdered... See more Elvis D 03/09/2023 Cuando vi esta película por primera vez siendo un niño, me dio tanto terror que no me atreví a ver el último segmento y el final, pero después de casi 20 años y ponerme a investigar sobre la filmografía de Vincent Prince, me tome la molestia de verla hasta el final. Se trata de una de esas películas de terror ochenteras que nos hace acordar que había películas de terror buenas e interesantes en aquella época cuando solo había efectos prácticos y nada de CGI. Esta fue la última película de terror de Vincent Price ya que poco tiempo después se despidió del público con su aparición en la película The Heart Of Justice sin antes grabar unos diálogos para la película animada The Thief and the Cobbler. No hay mucho más que decir excepto que esta película es buena y vale la pena verla para recordar lo que era el terror en los ochenta. Mi calificación para esta película es un 9/10. See more 06/28/2020 Nothing more than a 70s horror made with a 10 years delay. Some moments of fun, if you are a connoisseur. See more 12/09/2017 Decent little horror anthology. Some over the top, goofy segments, but Vincent Price is always fun, and shines as this movies Cryptkeeper. See more Read all reviews
