this movie be good for what it be and and unpretentious while i wouldn not watch it twice and however represent i be a peter cushing completist and that why i watch it . the best asset of this movie be represent brevity and effectiveness . compare to other similar movie and it do not drag it foot forever a each of the four ( plus one ) segment last under 30 minute and with the last under 10. good uncanny vibe . in the first segment and horror writer suffer from writer block relocate to seclude old house seek inspiration . he find even too much of it when he start to visualize one of his fictional madman . plot contrivance similar to premature burial . good use of the point of view twist represent be the writer get mentally ill. or ( a the end show ) his trophy wife want her lover to play along with the husband phobia to drive him mad and secure his estate . yet will the scheme bimbo survive to enjoy the fruit of her ingenious plan . in the second segment two long time lose friend get together in the same seclude old house but can not seem to help visit a bizarre horror museum feature the wax statue of the long lost love of their youth and which have once separate them . from the gothic museum keeper they learn the woman portray be a deceased ax wield murderer . or be she . the third segment be the less interesting to me . the fourth show a horror movie actor who think he the best of all sink to the depth of low budget c movie . seek a costume to lend more credibility to his fictional vampire and he get the real deal . this segment also lack the solidity of the first two . acting be fair and with the 2 initial segment contribute the bulk of it . good movie and take with a grain of salt . not the best cushing and nor lee . but worth watching .
