Schlock dressed up with fine acting is still schlock.

A fun anthology movie, helped along by an all-star cast and the direction of Freddy Francis. Much better than a lot of the horror anthologies that followed.

Not as enjoyably over-the-top as the subsequent HBO series would be, but a decent British horror anthology.
