Audience Member Really fun Amicus horror anthology. Feels like it's right in line with those original Tales from the Crypt and Vault of Horror films. A lost cousin perhaps? I especially dug the Jack Palace/Peter Cushing segment. The old Hollywood one was pretty fun too. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/28/19 Full Review delysid d This movie is nowhere near as Cool as the title would suggest Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/14/19 Full Review robert p Ugh, what a horrible show this was, know I know why its called Torture Garden. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A really fun effort from Amicus that once more follows their anthology model. Our host is a devilishly fun Burgess Meredith, also featuring genre regulars Jack Palance, Peter Cushing, Barbara Ewing and Michael Ripper. Direction by Freddie Francis and stories written by Robert Bloch (Psycho) lend this a consistent tone of horror and irony. While not as great as their later effort Tales from the Crypt, it's still a very entertaining and atmospheric, early 70s English horror flick none the less.

Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Uneven horror anthology boasts a strong cast (Jack Palance, Burgess Meredith, Peter Cushing), a veteran horror director (Freddie Francis), a smart writer (Robert Bloch) and a better than average wraparound story. That story involves a circus sideshow named the Torture Garden, where Dr. Diablo, Meredith, invites patrons to witness his funhouse horrors, but for one group, he invites them to see something truly terrifying; a glimpse into their own doomed futures, which then leads to the four tales of terror. Like most anthology films, the quality of the episodes varies and subsequently the overall film suffers. The one about a possessed piano is the worst and the best is the Jack Palance/Peter Cushing one about two Edgar Allen Poe obsessed men and Cushing's private collection. Slickly made and less gothic than most of Hammer and Amicus productions of this period, but like most anthology films, it's a bit hit or miss.
