Roy Ward Baker directs Peter Cushing, Britt Ekland and Charlotte Rampling in this Amicus horror where we explore the backstories of various patients of a mental institution.

An anthology of twisty chillers that now have period charm. The first tale of a dismembered body escaping the freezer is the only horrific segment, while Peter Cushing’s devilish tailored suit the most creepy, Ekland and Rampling’s muderous sexy pairing the best acted and Herbert Lom turning himself in to a killer toy proves the campest and daftest. Worth it for the cult cast and dated look, but don’t come for gory thrills.
