"#124 on IndieWire’s list of the 125 Best Horror Movies of All Time. I give it 3/5.
It’s a British horror anthology film from 1945, so it’s bound to be a bit uneven and occasionally dull. The best short is definitely the last one, “The Ventriloquist’s Dummy.” But the frame story’s nightmarish ending is pretty great."
