The House That Dripped Blood. 1971.
A policeman looks into four mysterious crimes that have happened that are centered round a mysterious house.
Method For Murder
A novelist working on his new book encounters a man that resembles the villain from his new book.
Waxworks
Two men visit a waxworks and a women made of wax resembles someone from their past.
Sweets To The Sweets.
A widowed man and his daughter move into the house and the daughter slowly becomes obsessed in witchcraft.
The Cloak
Horror movie actor Paul Henderson is looking for a authentic cloak to use for his new movie and finds one and it gives him vampire features which he can't understand.
Another Amicus anthology film with some well known actors and some familiar faces, I will admit the first story with Denholm Elliott has always been a let down for me, no disrespect he was a great actor and does have a good plot twist but seemed a bit dull.
The second stars Peter Cushing and Joss Ackland, both main leads in this have great chemistry together and believing they are seeing the same thing, being in a small building that builds up the claustrophobic atmosphere works really well.
Christopher Lee actually playing a strict father worked well for him with this and be over protective till a home tutor comes and draws out some darkness from his daughter that is quite played out well with Chloe Franks as his daughter.
Jon Pertwee plays the movie actor who acts like a total diva on set and thinks everything should be done like the old movies along with Ingrid Pitt who looks like she is ready to bust out of her dress at the end.
The house itself is like something you would expect to see in a good horror like this a big Gothic sinister looking mansion that you fall in love with when you see the outside yet inside you expect to see ghosts and shadows, the makers did a decent job with this, yet probably best watched in the dark during thunder and lightning.
