'Torture Garden' (1967) – Freddie Francis.

It's a glowing testament to the fantastic fearmongering of Robert Bloch, exquisite performances, and refined filmmaking of Freddie Francis that a spooky horror anthology from the 60s has retained all of its insidious power to set fear-flayed nerves alight with sinister visions of fright! The supernaturally scintillated shocks spawned from the prodigiously perverse, masterfully malefic mind of Bloch have vividly endured the weathering of time. These nameless horrors, and monstrous demonic entities are evilly revivified on Blu-ray!!! The very worst terrors are not grisly flights of fantasy, but the diabolically twisted, deeply hidden desires of man! Murderous greed, mad obsessions, and seething jealousies, seemingly dormant, are eerily exposed to those curious enough to experience the terrible mysteries of Dr. Diabolo! This iconic British portmanteau chiller reveals its dark mysteries with elan, consummately acted by a superlative cast, The Torture Garden maintains all of its macabre fascination, if anything, the immaculate-looking indicator Blu exposes deeper facets of fright lurking malevolently within this timeless jewel of compendium horror!
