| User ReviewAndy GPerhaps my favourite ever film. Works best if not taken at all seriously, it features some absolutely fantastic (unintentional) commedy moments. |

| User ReviewJosh B. TaylorThis Anthology horror movie is one of my favorites of all time. I really liked it. If only there was a DVD release to it, it's not on NTSC DVD's only PAL :(. |
| User Reviewsandra(shakysadmirer)This is a classic ! I have always been interested in the unknown, like tarot cards, and this film says it all !5 people on a train having their fortune read by a creepy character. |
| User ReviewHOT FEMALE hI love this movie. . years of wondering the name, and I found it. Get it, watch it, and love it. |
| User ReviewL JYes, the title clearly states "House Of Horrors", but it's definitely a train-carriage (wouldn't have made as snappy a title though, I guess). First of Amicus' portmanteau horrors which became their speciality. And it's a corker! We have five tales: Werewolf, Creeping Vine, Voodoo, Disembodied Hand, and Vampire - the titles pretty much speak for themselves, don't they? Framing these short tales is Cushing's title character (Dr Schreck), one of his coolest ever roles. Chris Lee is fantastic as the dismissive sceptic (even though his individual story in this is (for me) one of the weaker episodes, his performance in it is superb - EXPRESSING fear in a film, rather than CAUSING it, as he usually does!) A very weird cast: Donald Sutherland (it's not every day you see Donald Sutherland opening a can of beans in a film!), Roy Castle (also appearing with Cushing in the same year's Dr Who & The Daleks), disc-jockey Alan 'Fluff' Freeman, Kenny Lynch and the great Michael Gough; but they are all superb (even Castle doesn't annoy (too much) here). Sure, some tales are less effective than others, but this just works great as a whole, for me. One of Amicus' finest, if not THE finest. |
| User ReviewPeter Sawesome performances by the late(s) PETER CUSHING/ROY CASTLE/ALAN 'FLUFF' FREEMAN, also CHRISTOPHER LEE/DONALD SUTHERLAND....five strangers get in the same rail carriage and then a mysterious stranger joins them(peter cushing), who drops his tarot cards then tempts them into forseeing there future.....CUE FLASHBACKS, the sceptical art critic played by christopher lee!one of the great horror films revolving around 4 stories and PETER CUSHING being the ringleader |

| User ReviewSarah POne of my fave Amicus films. It has the mighty Cush, Christopher Lee, not to mention Roy Castle and Alan 'Fluff' Freeman who has to battle an evil plant. Classic. |
