Three separate stories that play with a Freudian idea that actress Karen Black is an object of desire in the eyes of others. First the school teacher who is undressed by the mind's eye of the horny pupil; then the two sisters who both portray the two poles of the Madonna and the whore; finally the young woman who lets herself be walked over by her mother and her love affair. In that sense it is much more layered in design than you would expect from the seemingly straightforward B-plots. Yet the first two stories are too cool and too distant to really get beyond pretentious playfulness. The third story adds a playful element with a murderous African doll. In all honesty, the final episode is also why you should see this forgettable triptych. Especially because of the brilliant climax where the earlier play with subject/object is visually made quite impressive.

Part 3 with that killer doll from the jungle is the strongest, but part 1 is also worth it, partly because of the plot twist at the end part 2 is the weakest and you saw the punch line coming from far away.
It is striking that the same actress plays the leading role in each story.
All in all an entertaining 3-part series in the style of a creep show.

As the film title suggests, an anthology horror of three bundled shorts. A bit in line with the better known Tales from the crypt. I preferred the third and last part. The most horror also with a voodoo doll that came to life and was after the woman's life. Quite well done, both the doll itself and the whole. The sound is good and it is one long ordeal to escape from the thing.

The first film is a lot more realistic and may sound familiar to many students when they used to fantasize about that handsome teacher. And of course the distance relationship, the position of power and the forbidden give an extra pigment to the whole. So here too, only both protagonists go very far in their actions. It doesn't just stop at fantasizing...

I found the second part not very good. Not very interesting and about two jealous sisters, one of whom tries to kill the other. It could easily be a soap opera.
