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.

"Horrors and desire, death and lust go hand in hand in Onibaba and Kuroneko, a perverse, sweaty double bill from Kaneto Shindo. I saw these two films at age ten, and they did some serious damage to my psyche. Both are perfect fables rooted in Japanese folklore but distinctly modern in their approach to violence and sexuality. As exuberant and exquisite as a netsuke carving, these atmospheric jewels show mankind trapped in a cosmically evil world. The tales seem to fit together so perfectly that they fuse into one as time goes by. Onibaba and Kuroneko make a perfect double bill for the second circle of hell."
