Comment/Synopsis

An architect (Mervyn Johns) is invited to a house where he meets a group of people who he claims he has seen before in his dreams. They each then recount a supernatural experience that have experienced. The film is a good anthology of horror stories, particularly the mirror and ventriloquists dummy segments. The film ends with a nice circular twist. This is more subtle and suspense rather than bloody horror, but it is effective.
