Fun movie with a few cracking moments - the stripper and the musical interludes springing to mind. The songs in between the stories may not be to everyone's taste, but are undeniably hummable. The first story is probably the best, being rather solemn and tragic, and a complete contrast to the rest of the film. The second story is far more light-hearted, revolving round a vampire's family life, and the third, about a forgotten village is fairly grisly. The 'wrap' story is amusing, with the writer R Chetwynd-Hayes (a real-life horror writer, who's stories have themselves inspired horror anthologies) being accosted by a vampire who turns out to be a fan, and takes him to the Monster Club for a few drinks and tall tales, revolving around a monster's family tree, and the offspring of different types of monsters. UB40 make a cameo as one of the monster bands. Good fun if you like horror movies or if you have ever wondered what happened if a vampire and a werewolf were to have a kid. It's not massively scary, but some moments will live on in your mind for a while.
