Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

one-nine-eighty An Amicus production, similar to some of the other Amicus films which are constructed of a series of shorts all wrapped up nicely however this was reportedly the first in the wave of Anthology horrors. Five strangers on a train are joined by a mysterious tarot reader who wants to read their futures to help the journey pass. As soon as you see the characters in their train compartment you know you are in for a great ride, there are some of the silver screens most iconic legends: Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee, Donald Sutherland, Neil McCallum, Alan Freeman and Roy Castle. All the journeymen play along with Peter Cushing's (Dr Schreck, which translates as Dr Horror) tarot session only to learn about an awful fate that awaits them. The horror anthology is split into sections which unfold as (1) Werewolf, (2) creeping Vines, (3) Voodoo, (4) Disembodied hand, (5) Vampire. Don't forget the wrap around which has mystery, suspense and mortality.If you've seen some of the other Amicus anthologies you'll know to expect a big plot twist at the end, which some people may be able to predict but it's still a fun journey getting to it. There is some dated camp horror along the way, it's fairly family friendly by today's standards but I'm guessing in the 60's it was tension and suspense galore. I first watched this as a child with my dad who loved all these kind of movies and it certainly was a bonding experience which I look back on fondly. If you like good old fashioned horror, any of the hammer films or like me you could watch Cushing and Lee read a phone book and still enjoy it you'll be happy passing the time with this classic. I'm giving this 6 out of 10. Great!

Jeff Wagner The first horror movie i ever watched at the Drive-In on the big screen and to this day is the one movie that still makes me turn my head to look behind when i am alone and hear a noise, scary no, horrifying memories yes, the very night we returned home from the movie i went up stairs to my shared bedroom with my brothers, i was the first one to get in bed and was laying on my stomach not much later than maybe couple minutes later and felt a tap on my back shoulder, i turned to look and there was an old black winter glove, i scrambled out of bed and downstairs from the attic bedroom tripping down the stairs in sheer panic and horror, my brothers and everyone else was still down stairs and came rushing to find out what happened from the noise i made, it was a real haunting experience, we all went up stairs soon after and nobody could find that glove, many other things happened to other members of my family over time in this house we had only rented a short time before this period of things going on, we moved shortly there after, i don't know what this movie had to do with it if anything except for the glove and story in the movie about the guy who lost his hand, and everything i just wrote is 100% true, ask anyone in my family that was there.

ShadeGrenade Clearly inspired by the classic Ealing picture 'Dead Of Night' ( 1945 ), 'Dr.Terror's House Of Horrors' launched Amicus - a British-based film company run by Americans Max J.Rosenberg and Milton Subotsky - as a major rival to Hammer Films. Written by Subotsky, it has five men of varying backgrounds - snobbish art critic 'Franklyn Marsh' ( Christopher Lee ), jazz musician 'Biff Bailey' ( Roy Castle ), 'Jim Dawson' ( Neil MacCarthy ), 'Bill Rogers ' ( Alan Freeman ), and 'Dr.Bob Carroll' ( Donald Sutherland ) - boarding a train somewhere in England. Another man gets into their compartment - the creepy 'Dr.Shreck' ( Peter Cushing ). 'Shreck', incidentally, is the German word for 'terror'. The old man has brought along a pack of Tarot cards and, to while away the journey, offers to tell the others their fortunes. Dawson has a run-in with a werewolf ( which we never see ), Rogers and his family are menaced in their home by a deadly creeping vine, Bailey incurs the wrath of a witch doctor when he plagiarises an old voodoo tune for his nightclub act, a disembodied hand stalks Marsh after an artist he murdered seeks revenge, and Carroll's new bride - 'Nicolle' ( Jennifer Jayne ) - turns out to be a vampire. There is a final 'twist' at the end which became obligatory for movies of this type - none of the stories will occur because the characters are all dead anyway.The stories vary in quality - I liked the second, fourth and fifth ones the best. Indeed the last one has become a little classic in its own right, with a great closing line delivered by Max Adrian. The casting of entertainers Castle, Kenny Lynch, and disc jockey Freeman looks strange now - possibly an attempt to give the film appeal to young audiences. Seasoned performers such as Michael Gough, Bernard Lee, and Ursula Howells fill out the rest of the cast. Castle appeared in another Amicus picture - 'Dr.Who & The Daleks' ( 1965 ). The studio made other movies in similar vein ( sorry about that! ) in 'Horrors', such as 'Torture Garden' ( 1967 ) and ''The House That Dripped Blood' ( 1970 ).Don't expect any terror. Like a lot of vintage British horror pictures, it is too well-mannered and genteel to be actually frightening. It is very entertaining though.Steve Coogan tried to spoof the genre in 2001 with his B.B.C. series 'Dr.Terrible's House Of Horrible', but it did not work as the films were tongue-in-cheek to start with.

kensworld-135-305975 This was the first of several compendium Horror Films from 'Amicus' a close rival to 'Hammer' and it was one of the most uneven. The things that worked against it were the weakness of some of the stories, like for instance, the devouring plant, and the miscasting of Roy Castle and Alan Freeman, who were out of their depth in a horror film (whoever came up with that idea, are we hard up for actors or something??). The severed hand story with Christopher Lee was possibly the best in a film that bordered more on being silly than frightening. A pity, but it must have been considered as not that bad, because thankfully, it let to other compendiums from this studio, like 'Tales from the Crypt' and 'Asylum', both of which were superior to this film. In short, this one is for completists only!
