Amicus!
Another Amicus Production anthology starring Christopher Lee and the late Peter Cushing. It seems like you can never go wrong with those two – or Amicus for that matter; classic performances by both men indeed. I don’t consider these tales terrifying but they offer substance and quality that becomes enjoyable to the viewer. I won’t go into any detail concerning each tale, but like usual, they all represent a unified theme. The conclusion is satisfying and I would love the opportunity to own this film. A fun way to spend your afternoon if you cherish the usual setup from Amicus – and, if you’re not familiar, why not get acquainted?
Decent Amicus Anthology
A Scotland Yard investigator looks into four mysterious cases involving an unoccupied house: 1) A writer encounters a strangler of his own creation, 2) Two men are obsessed with a wax figure of a woman from their past, 3) A little girl displays an interest in witchcraft, and 4) A film actor discovers a cloak which gives him a vampire’s powers.Amicus made numerous anthologies in the 1970s, and this is one of them. Like others of the era, it came from the typewriter of Milwaukee writer Robert Bloch (who is best known for “Psycho”). Could we ask for a better scribe? (Well, Richard Matheson, perhaps, but not many others.) Like most anthologies, there are stronger and weaker segments. The wax museum is a bit weak, saved only by the joy of watching Peter Cushing. The strangler segment is also a bit lackluster. The vampire cloak is decent, even if the role was a bit over the top… seeing Ingrid Pitt in another vampire tale is cool. The best, though, by far, was the witchcraft story with Christopher Lee. Perfectly paced, perfectly acted, and just the right length.
One thing that really made this one fun was the in-jokes, such as saying Bela Lugosi was a better Dracula than the “new guy”, when that new guy was (of course) Christopher Lee. This has the double impact of ribbing Lee, as well as making a crack about Hammer, the inferior Amicus competitor.
