The greatest movie ever made..!

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Five passengers are in a cabin of the train to Bradley, when a sixth one asks whether he may join them in their cabin. He introduces himself as the tarot cards reader Dr. Schreck, a.k.a. Dr. Terror (Peter Cushing), who can tell the future of those who tap his cards deck three times. The first passenger to tap is the architect Jim Dawson (Neil McCallum), who is traveling to an island to renovate the house that belonged to his family that Mrs. Deirdre Biddulph (Ursula Howells) bought from him. He will learn that there is a werewolf in the house. Bill Rogers (Alan Freeman), who is traveling on vacation to meet his wife and daughter, taps the deck and learns that an intelligent creeper vine will threat their lives at his summer house. Then the musician Biff Bailey (Roy Castle) taps the deck and learns that he will bring a voodoo song from his tour in Caribe with creepy consequences. Then the snobbish and arrogant art critic Franklyn Marsh (Christopher Lee) learns that the artist Eric Landor (Michael Gough) will expose his arrogance and Franklyn will revenge with tragic consequences. Last, Dr. Bob Carroll (Donald Sutherland) taps the deck and learns that he will discover a secret about his fiancée Nicolle Carroll (Jennifer Jayne), who has just moved to a small town in New England to live with him, and his colleague Dr. Blake (Max Adrian). Further, they find their fate and who the mysterious fortune teller Dr. Terror is."Dr. Terror's House of Horrors" is a great anthology from Amicus Productions with five short stories. "Werewolf", "Creeping Vine", "Voodoo", "Disembodied Hand" and "Vampire" are great segments. Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee and Donald Sutherland are part of the cast and synonym of a great entertainment for fans of British horror films from the 60's. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "As Profecias do Dr. Terror" (The Prophecies of Dr. Terror")

yet another excellent British horror movie from the 1960's . I was pleasantly surprised with the special effects from such an old movie , each segment had it's own brand of humour and horror , perfectly combined . and if it wasn't for the fact they all died , that would have made for a fantastic train ride , with so much talent in one place . I recently watched this movie again , on horror channel , & in my opinion it has not lost any of it's charm , and is still very watchable today - a true testament to the actors , writer , and director . it is very skilfully filmed , written , and acted . a true must have for all collectors of horror classics .

Despite how I summed up this movie in the summary line above, I feel I need to point out that I didn't hate this movie. I have a fondness for spooky tales with a twist at the end, from EC comics to horror anthology movies. All the same, I thought this was a lesser example of the genre. It may be because I have seen so many examples of this genre that what were once fresh twists have become both overused, familiar, and predictable. In this particular horror anthology movie, I was able to predict the outcome of two of the stories, the "Disembodied Hand" story as well as the wraparound part of the movie linking all of the stories. The other stories aren't as predictable, but a big problem with two of them ("Creeping Vine" and "Voodoo") is that they feel unfinished, leaving the viewer hanging in the air. As for the remaining two stories ("Werewolf" and "Vampire"), the former has a so-so twist at the end, while the latter is the only story of the six that has a genuinely surprising ending. While that story is the only one that really works, the movie does have some pleasures sprinkled throughout. It is, of course, a treat to see Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, and while the movie is predictable for the most part, director Freddie Francis keeps things moving swiftly so there are no dull spots. As I said, this isn't a terrible movie, but I would suggest you wait to see it until you are in a forgiving mood.

When I first heard the name Dr. Terror's House of Horrors I was sure that it would flop. Nevertheless one night I decided to give it a try and I was actually surprised by it's quality. The beginning was very exciting and so were the first few stories. After that they began to turn into silly cliché horror stories, especially the third and fifth ones. Though the film turned into worse direction it wasn't enough to make this a bad movie.Peter Cushing gave one of his best performances in this film. He was perfect as Dr. Terror and the other actors were decent to good. The visuals were quite bad but what would you expect from this kind of film. Because of bad effects the film failed to be scary but that didn't really matter. The only real problem I had with visuals was the final scene which was done very badly (even though the idea was good).Given the budget and the release year this film is very well done. Especially Francis' direction was spectacular. The screenplay was at times great and sometimes terrible. (if you like classic horror plots this is a movie for you). The quality change between the stories were a serious minus for the film. I can't say this is an excellent or remarkable film but if you wish to see some good acting and directing then you should really consider giving this a try.
