Five strangers go with a tourist group to view old catacombs. Separated from the main group, the strangers find themselves in a room with the mysterious Crypt Keeper (Ralph Richardson), who details how each of them may die.
Based on the EC comics, this Amicus production is quite a stylish, intelligent offering, however some of the tales vary in quality ( I. E. Blind Alley I didn't like too much, though it's quite a relevant with councils cost cutting in institutions and trying to save money). Highlights are: "All though the house", "Reflection of Death" and "Wish you were here' "Poetic Justice" is good, however it is quite sad ( Cushing's grief was real as his wife has passed away before the filming), though the heartless villain get its just desserts.
An enjoyable horror anthology that has some genuine scares and a strong moral flavour. You could do worse than check this out.
