Amicus Collection (Asylum / And Now the Screaming Starts / The Beast Must Die) (3-DVD)

THE BEAST MUST DIE: A rich sportsman invites eight guests to his house with the knowledge that one of them is a werewolf. He has devised a game of suspense wherein the guests must guess whom is the wolf. At the full moon, the game will end as the werewolf unwittingly reveals himself, and the others hunt him down to add his pelt to the sportsman's trophies. The film features a special "guess-who" sequence at the end, in which the viewer is given thirty seconds to decide "who done it."

AND NOW THE SCREAMING STARTS: An inconsiderate young couple moves into a house already inhabited by a dismembered and disgruntled hand in the 1973 cult classic AND NOW THE SCREAMING STARTS. Catherine (Stephanie Beacham) is a lovely young bride set to start a new life with her wealthy new husband Charles (Ian Ogilvy.) But a horrid curse has haunted Charles' aristocratic bloodline, and only the help of the brilliant Dr. Pope can help squelch the supernatural evil of the disembodied hand.

ASYLUM: Robert Bloch (PSYCHO) wrote this quartet of tales that fit together to solve a mystery that serves as the catalyst for each segment. The setup has a doctor who is trying to become the new head of an asylum has to figure which one of four patients held the position previously before he is allowed to take over. So, one by one, each patient tells their story, leading to an unexpected finale. This is just about the best of the sub-genre of anthology horror films, as each segment works both as a stand alone film, and as part of the overall mystery.
