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.

Review by Cinton Morgan on 29th August 2002

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.

Great British Films by John Wilde

Just a selection of films which made a big impact on me. Saw most of them first on TV and believed they were all in black and white. Some funny, some melodramatic one or two quite scary.
