If you enjoy the look and feel of Hammer films you'll enjoy this collection of four chilling tales from Shepperton Studios. Peter Duffell directs these stories embracing the history of a desolate country estate that has experienced its share of shock. A very fine gathering of talent featuring: Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, Jon Pertwee, Ingrid Pitt, Tom Adams and John Bryans. Cushing seems to have been wasted. The best episode is of course saved for last...you can't go too wrong with a vampire offering. Credit Michael Dress for the creepy atmospheric music. Worthwhile, but could have been a lot scarier. Most of the terror is pretty much predictable and implied and quite evocative of this genre in the early 70s.
