Tales that Witness Madness (1973)
Country: GB
Technical: col 90m
Director: Freddie Francis
Cast: Jack Hawkins, Donald Pleasence, Georgia Brown, Donald Houston, Suzy Kendall
Synopsis:
A psychiatrist shares four tales of insanity with a colleague.
Review:
Following Amicus's success the previous year with Tales from the Crypt and Asylum, Francis again donned the director's mantle for this imitation by World Film Services. The stories are not from comic book sources this time, but penned by actress Jennifer Jayne, and again feature Joan Collins, who would have gone hungry in the 70s had it not been for horror films! There is more emphasis on the uncanny this time, as in Dead of Night (1945), and the results are fair to middling, though not helped by flat direction.
