Top CriticOne of the best of the Amicus portmanteau films, this relies on Robert Bloch's superior scripting abilities to fashion a chilling atmosphere of terror that has dated extremely well.

Top CriticThere are other, much better Amicus anthology films out there...

Skillfully written by Bloch and boasting an excellent cast, this omnibus is a bit better than most and was the feature debut of television director Peter Duffell, who wound up returning to small-screen work.

Top CriticNarrando quatro pequenas histórias, é um filme irregular cujo apelo se mantém graças ao ótimo calibre de seu elenco.

The latter two stories, though necessarily too short and too schematic, generate some interest, and humor, and even a bit of characterization.

Cushing, Lee, and Pitt's dirty-pillows are memorable as always, but only the Lee section fully coheres
