    Five men trapped in a mysterious basement room following a journey in an elevator tell each other their recurring nightmares in this formulaic horror movie.

This was the sixth horror compendium made by Amicus, for a time Hammer's most formidable rival. British actors such as Terry-Thomas and Daniel Massey bring a touch of class to an otherwise pedestrian production.
