A portmanteau of short repugnance stories inspired by, instead than directly adapted from, the way-out tales of 30s writer HP Lovecraft, with a out of the ordinary director helming each episode.
As per conventional in the interest of this set of talkie, the opening segment close Christophe Gans is the weakest of the bunch, being a pretty straightforward tale of octopoid horror.
Next up is Shu Kaneko's The Brumal, which is a fairly faithful update of Lovecraft's undying anecdote Chill Circulate.
Yuzna's concluding stick-fest is the grisliest of the bunch but also the complete that strays furthest from the fountain-head bodily. A curate's egg, but the film over does have its moments.
