Inspired by the Grand Guignol tradition, this omnibus film features six assorted segments by notable genre directors that offer a little something for horror fans of every stripe. Subjects include occultism, extreme love, revenge torture, food fetishes, eyeball terror, and even a thoughtful meditation on death, and it’s all held together by Udo Kier, perfectly creepy as the increasingly human puppet who introduces us to each story. This film, which lives up to its title and then some, is sure to revive the anthology film so popular in the ’60s and ’70s.
