Film Description
Superb ghost story compilation, using material from H G Wells and E F Benson amongst others. People tell ghost stories, and one man is overcome with a terrible sense of deja vu. Saturated with excellence, but the outstanding moments are those featuring Redgrave's descent into madness, and the nightmarishly intense climax.

A favourite of the eccentric composer Frank Zappa. This film is possibly the best of the ensemble-director genre and a forerunner to the unfairly maligned 'Four Rooms'.
The stories, performances and photography in this film is of a high quality. Not only that but it also works as a justification for the 'auteur' theory since each story has the stamp of the director working on it. My favourite is the story about the mirror reflecting a different room. If you have not seen this then shame on you.
