The Architect (McNeice) introduces 4 horror stories a la Hammer / Amicus tales of the sixties set around an old house. The first, a short romantic ghost tale, the second is about witchcraft, the third a vampire on the loose and finally a nasty ancient demon.

So, on the plus side it is always a treat to see the great Ian McNeice at work. On the down side the stories and script are dreadful, it is not at all frightening, the acting is lousy throughout and technically it suffers as well - some cheap effects and make up plus some of the sets are daft (note the spotless, modern bar in the old vampire story with electric ceiling lights with a lady drinking white wine out of a modern wine glass). Best avoided.
