In truth, I only made this purchase to watch the last of the three short stories, the one with Terrence Stamp, directed by Federico Fellini. It’s truly creepy. I had watched it as a teenager and had never forgotten it. I was talking to my grown daughter about it and she said the same thing: She saw it when she was very young and she couldn’t remember if it was real or just a bad dream! Very different, memorable. I had to give the DVD four stars because the other two stories by different directors are only OK.

Spirits of the Dead is a collection of three fairly short films by three different directors based on less well-known stories by Edgar Allan Poe. The three directors, Roger Vadim, Louis Malle, and Frederico Fellini, are not horror film directors per se (although Vadim had made a horror film Blood and Roses in 1960 which is considered by William K. Everson to be one of his best movies), so it is interesting to see how such accomplished directors handled the challenge. Needless to say, they each handle it in their own accomplished ways, ways which are to some degree superior than the general horror film. These are art films which add a philosophical dimension to the underlying suspense. They are each supremely enjoyable, if one does not mind that they are not full-length feature films--which keeps any of them from becoming tedious. There are also less ambiguous delights such as Fonda in a role requiring far greater depth than we might be accustomed (especially since her very next film, also with Vadim, was Barbarella) and Bardo in two of the movies as a brunette. But my predilections aside--I'm also a huge Louis Malle fan--I recommend this collection for the serious film viewer or to those who like the Poe period films. Vollständige Rezension lesen

A great film nobody seems to know about.

I first saw this movie on TV as a child, it was highly edited and had been dubbed over. This was my chance to see it in its original state and it did not disappoint. Very engaging performance by a super young Jane Fonda in the first story.

One of the most underrated movies of all time. Toby Dammit is one of Felinni's funniest pop culture gags. If you don't like these modern versions of Poe classics, then you are a dolt.
