From Hammer-rival Amicus Productions comes this horror anthology penned by Robert Bloch (author of Psycho) and directed by the great British cinematographer Freddie Francis. Genre legend Peter Cushing stars alongside Jack Palance and Burgess Meredith in an omnibus of chilling and gruesome stories, inspired by E.C. Comics' Tales from the Crypt comic-book series of the 1950s. (Powerhouse Films)

The individual stories are simply weak, and the slightly bizarre framework doesn't hold them together very well. The ending seems quite banal and I didn't get very good feelings from it. It's nice to see the familiar faces of horror legends, or other actors who have appeared in horror films, but here it wasn't enough to truly entertain me, and I didn't take away anything more than just the feeling of having seen it.
