Very suspenseful and expertly handled. The segment with Peter Cushing is my favorite, really my kind of story. But overall it is a great series, a lot of play but does not fall into cheese.

This solid collection of Bloch short stories is his best Amicus anthology, with sharp direction, a fine cast (including Lom at his charmingly intense best), and a genuinely shocking surprise ending.

I thought the premise was promising and I like anthology movies, but 3/4 of the stories were a little repetitive.

A basically pretty pointless assortment of hokum. Fun cast though.

Decent little anthology horror flick framed by a psychiatrist interviewing patients at a loony bin. There's a cool story about a guy who plots with his girlfriend to murder his wife, but the one with Peter Cushing commissioning a suit of a mysterious material was the best one, creating a nicely chilly atmosphere. No gore to speak of, it relies more on a handful of shocking reveals...in fact, it kinda plays out like an episode of the Twilight Zone.

A weak anthology that doesn't really do justice to the quality of the cast. "Frozen Fear" is the best of the lot, but even that didn't hold my interest as much as I'd have liked. The wraparound story was serviceable but, like everything else in the movie, it nevertheless left me feeling lukewarm.

This film is so uneven. Its wrap-around story is quite good, and this is the first time I've ever said this: I think this horror film needs to be remade.

The requisite Killer Doll story has one of the worst looking puppets I've ever seen, and being the final story and the conclusion of the framing story it leaves the film with an anti-climax. Otherwise, I did like the framing story, and the first two stories were good to great and the third draaaaaaaaaaaaagged but Charlotte Rampling was sort of adorable.

A decent horror anthology that's creepy in parts, but extremely silly in other parts. The best segment is the first one, where the chopped up wife gets her revenge - it's pretty gruesome compared to the other three stories and contains a few make-you-jump moments. It gets a bit flat after that, and the the wraparound story with the psychiatrist is a bit predictable. Overall, it's entertaining but corny - like most British horror of the same period.
