A creepy and atmospheric anthology film that finds a man invited to a country house realizing that the assembled guests, all strangers, are people who he's seen in a recurring dream. From there, each guest recounts a run-in with the supernatural, and it's these little stories that make up the bulk of the film. The first is short and sweet, one about a cursed mirror goes on forever, and one about a golfing buddy who refuses to stop haunting his friend is funny but won't satisfy those looking for something spooky. For that, look to the story about a hidden room in a rambling country estate that hosts a child ghost and, most effectively and famously, the last episode about a ventriloquist and his psychotic dummy. Michael Redgrave gives a truly fantastic performance in this one, probably a better performance than the film really needs, and creates a short little film that's the stuff of nightmares. It alone makes the whole movie worth the price of admission.
