Directed by Freddie Francis
Fun, spooky, and one of the better horror anthologies of its time, this movie switches from segment to segment without any weak spots. It's the right balance of creepy and silly that makes for a very entertaining watch. Some of the performances are over-the-top, but never in a way that's distracting or uneven with the tone of the whole movie, and some of the performances are actually really compelling. Peter Cushing's small role is a prime example of that (which is basically a no-brainer, because he's always awesome). I'm surprised more people haven't seen this movie -- I'd call it one of the most underrated horror films of the '70s.
★★★★★★★☆☆☆
