I find that even enjoyable horror anthologies are hit-or-miss as regards the individual stories. This one is no exception, and I'd say that it's the best Amicus horror anthology I've seen so far due to the quality of the first story (The Gatecrasher) and the last one (The Door). The middle stories, while boasting solid casts- including the great Donald Pleasance- are all right, but don't match the quality of the other two. Peter Cushing is good, as always, in the wraparound story.

Another entertaining horror anthology from Amicus. All four of the segments are worth watching, but I particularly enjoyed part 2 ("An Act of Kindness") with Donald and Angela Pleasence, in which the rather mundane domestic setting helped add to the creepiness. Special mention also goes to Margaret Leighton's delightfully manic performance as Madame Orloff, clairvoyant extraordinaire, in part 3 ("The Elemental")... it's funny stuff.
