Audience Member Screamtime goes from New York City — the wrapround story is about two guys stealing the videos that we're about to watch — to London, which is kind of jarring, as the stories play out. "That's the Way to Do It" is about the personal pain of a Punch and Judy puppeteer whose stage and puppets have been set ablaze as those around him are killed. "Dreamhouse" is so much a retelling of The Shining that the kid is named Danny. It's about seeing dead people in a new house and those dead people are planning on creating even more death. This sequence has a really decent slasher feel. Do You Believe in Fairies?" is about two older women being robbed — by Dollar vocalist David Van Day — yet their house is under the protection of fairies and gnomes. This has two directors: Stanley Long is best known for making a few of the Adventures of… sex comedies, Sex Through the Ages and the STD education movie It Could Happen to You. He's joined by another director you may know better, Michael Armstrong, who wrote Horror House, House of the Long Shadows and Mark of the Devil, which he also directed. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review martin a I only watched this because I wanted to see Dollar Star David Van Day, To be honest, it has 3 really good stories, The first being a horror about a Punch and Judy man who becomes a little too attached to his work, which is a rather good horror, The second, a couple are gifted a house by their family as a wedding present, but the bride keeps having horrific visions of death, and blood, Another great story, And the third is a humorous tale about Gnomes, Elves, and Fairies, David Van Day is great in this as the Bike rider seeking £400 to fix his bike so he can race, the problem is he decides to take what does not belong to him. Jean Anderson and Dora Bryan are outstanding as the somewhat eccentric sisters looking for a new gardener. All in all a shock on how good it actually was. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Boring horror anthology. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Very cheap and and amateurishly made British horror anthology film. "Dead of Night" this is not. None of the three stories really stood out, but they did have a few decent creepy moments and some effetely gory special effects. The interstitial scenes involve a couple of English blokes and on gal who watch video tapes on a top loading VCR was charmingly quant and was probably my favorite part of the film (the VCR, not the interstitial story). Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A British horror omnibus/anthology film, Screamtime has the somewhat intriguing premise of two guys stealing videotapes from a store and then watching them as its set-up. The tapes, of course, may or may not begin to bleed into their lives. Crappy, derivative, and unoriginal tales make this a film that will pass the night for a horror fan who has seen everything else, but none of the stories are very memorable, scary, or stylish. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Something of a lost gem--A triumvirate of terror!!
