…each story is worse than the last… while a nicely mounted film, as you'd expect from Freddie Francis, these are some of the poorest, most childish stories I’ve ever seen on the screen... Go to Full Review
Chris Alexander Alexander On Film Apr 27, 2020
A superior British horror film and one of the finest examples of the multi-story shocker. Go to Full Review
Jeffrey M. Anderson Combustible Celluloid Jul 2, 2012
It's all very unsatisfying, and baffling to think that this was a big enough project to attract Ms. Novak. Go to Full Review

B P @Bradster69 4 days ago Not Bad, but Not My Favorite See more thiago s @Thiagostone Nov 4, 2025 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 See more Ben T @RT56031441 Feb 7, 2024 A blatant copy of ‘Asylum" that lacks the spark. The stories are mediocre and uninspiring. None of them really has anything to offer. ‘Dynasty' star Joan Collins stars, but adds nothing worth mentioning. If you've seen "Asylum' you will probably be disappointed. See more Simon T @MovieTart Jan 28, 2021 Freddie Francis may have been a fine cinematographer, but he couldn't direct for toffee. This lamentably bad portmanteau horror features career-worst performances from several A-listers, including Joan Collins, Kim Novak, Jack Hawkins (re-voiced by Charles Gray) and Michael Jayston. On cheap sets and a budget of nothing, four deeply unexciting tales unfold with the finesse of cold rice pudding. Tigers, penny farthings, horny trees, cannibalism, none of it makes sense, and the framing device even less so. Abby small, as Marty Feldman might say. See more Apr 23, 2020 I don’t care what anyone says, these old school horror movies are so bad they’re good!! See more Nov 9, 2018 Good fun and easy to follow. I love anthology films and think it is a shame that not more were made. See more Read all reviews
