Considerably tame tales of terror with Lysette Anthony portraying the female victim in each story. In the first she joins lover Geraint Wyn Davies(Of "Forever Dark" fame) in a plot to murder her husband Matt Clark and take his fortune. She finds herself instead contending with underground graveyard rats. In the second tale, she's the grieving mother who calls son Bobby back from his watery grave, after using some sort of witchcraft, only to find that he's not the same boy he once was. He, in fact, wishes to play his own game of homicidal hide-and-seek with her running for her life. The third tale, the best and yet silliest, has Lysette portraying a museum scientist studying a Zuni fetish doll which was found burnt in an oven at a vicious crime scene. It so happens that two women were found with their throats sliced open. What she doesn't realize once she takes this necklace from the doll's neck is that it is the very killer responsible for those other homicides. It seems, through a scroll also found at the crime scene, that the spirit of an African Zuni warrior harvests within the doll.
The special effects are low-grade and each story is rather hokey, but, all in all, it's decent fare. Nothing spectacular, but if you want to waste 90 minutes..
