User Reviews
RetroHorrorFan – 7/10
“I'm a sucker for old-school British horror, and this one delivers that creepy, quiet unease that modern films often miss. The 'Paper Dolls' segment really got under my skin—the dolls were just plain wrong. A bit dated, but classic atmosphere.”
VintageViper – 5/10
“It's a mixed bag for me. The first story, 'The New People,' had a decent premise but felt too slow. The second one, 'Paper Dolls,' was more my cup of tea—proper eerie. I appreciate the anthology format, but it's not one I'd watch again in a hurry.”
ScarySue – 4/10
“I wanted to like this more than I did. The acting was okay, but the stories didn't grab me. 'Paper Dolls' had a cool idea, but the execution felt flat. Overall, it's a bit dated and not that scary, but there are a couple of good moments if you're patient.”
MidnightMarathoner – 6/10
“As a fan of anthology horrors, I enjoyed the structure. 'The New People' started strong but lost me a bit. 'Paper Dolls' saved it though—that eerie atmosphere and the buildup were solid. Not a standout, but worth a watch for completists of 60s horror.”
