 External Reviews
external linkOverall this is an entertaining, if not overly spectacular, flick that's steadily directed and has enough fun moments to make it a good timewaster on a dull afternoon. 2.5/4


external linkThis was the last decent anthology horror film and a must-see for Romero/King fans.
