thiago s Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas de terror são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/27/25 Full Review Mark J Enjoyable distraction film. The majority of the stories were good, a couple to slow or not really enough story. Peter Cushing as amazing as ever.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/16/24 Full Review Green C Classic. Ralph Richardson, Peter Cushing, Joan Collins, and many more stellar British actors of yore. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/24/24 Full Review Taylor L Ralph Richardson was one of the most acclaimed English actors of stage and screen of the 20th century, but he's not the Crypt Keeper. Since 1989, that has only ever been the honor of John Kassir and his macabre puppet. The original adaptation to take the name of the classic horror comic (though not all the stories shown originate from that source), produced by Amicus Productions decades before HBO would use the same inspiration for its acclaimed series, the 1972 version of Tales of the Crypt leans towards disturbing social sensibilities rather than more gruesome horror. It's relatively tame by comparison to the body horror or tales of malevolent killers that were being introduced at about the same time, showing some of the narratives' midecentury origins, which are almost milquetoast; there aren't too many thrills or chills to be had so many years down the line. It's pretty telling that the most disturbing aspects of this anthology film are the explorations of human cruelty rather than the supernatural spooks that the film emphasizes; the story of a lonely, kind old Peter Cushing being mentally tortured by greedy neighbors is actually quite poignant, though it's the occult elements that the narrative treats as its crux. The original run of The Twilight Zone seemed to understand that the most horrific elements of a good spooky story tend to be people, and while there are still some classic horror sensibilities on display in this Fredie Francis adaptation, it's relatively vanilla by modern standards.
