Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
The first Amicus portmanteau film, which combines five stories comprising a vampire, a severed hand, a man-eating plant, a voodoo curse and a werewolf. The production suffers from some weak moments (notably the feeble voodoo story with even feebler comedy relief from Roy Castle), but two of the episodes are good; and who can resist the spectacle of Alan Freeman being engulfed by a man-eating plant?.Author:
