Melissa L Jul 30 Great movie with excellent actors...including a very young Donald Sutherland. The anthology offerings were great, but the ending was perfect. See more David W Mar 1 Crushing, Lee and Sutherland make for a fantastic trio of legends in this excellent horror anthology. If you enjoy Amicus or Hammer style horrors then this is a very fine example. Highly recommended for genre fans and those who are up for some well made retro scares. It's tame by today's horror standards in the gore department but that's more than compensated by the excellent performances and imaginative, atmospheric scripts/direction. An anthology horror which is unusually of a very high consistent standard and whilst I have my favourite all parts are excellent. See more Jay W 11/20/2024 Anthology horror movies are not for everyone. The format feels more like a setup for a TV show than it does for a feature film. But, if you are OK with a film that is comprised of 5 unrelated short stories, then this is an enjoyable horror film perfect for the Halloween season. The movie has a spooky but not overly scary vibe. The monsters range from werewolves and vampires to disembodied hands and killer plants. The movie has a sincere tone, which makes it just the right level of camp. It helps that this film has a cast of horror movie legends like Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing and Donald Sutherland. Around this Halloween season, let this Doctor make a house call. See more Horror fan 4 11/19/2024 A great anthology film with no week link. This is a prime example of how you do a proper anthology film. Tim Treakle See more Jack S 07/12/2024 A surprisingly intelligent and suspenseful horror anthology, especially considering the lurid title. Not particularly scary or surprising by today’s standards, but very well made and respectably performed. The always reliable Cushing/Lee team are typically creditable here. See more 10/26/2021 You know you are in for a good horror classic when both Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing are involved. Each story that was told was brilliant, and each was a different take on what terror could be perceived as. When you watch older horror movies today, it is sometimes possible to find them predictable and nearly comical. One of the reasons is possibly the of the lack of graphics and technology, another more notable reason is that you've seen it all before. This movie succeeds regardless. I won't spoil the ending but it got me. I cannot imagine how those back in the 60's took it. See more Read all reviews
