Sometimes I feel I'm trapped in a recurring nightmare with an endless succession of Amicus-style horror anthologies. This one sticks nice and close to the formula as a bunch of nasty people are shown their eventual comeuppances by the movie's host: there's an evil Santa Claus, zombie versions of some well-known actors, another appearance by the Amicus crawling hand prop, and so on.
By no means actually scary, but good camp fun; the downturn in the British movie industry means this films like this one can attract really impressive casts. You nearly always know what's coming next, but it's pacy and varied and entertaining stuff.
