Asylum (1972)

This anthology's premise—interviewing patients at a mental hospital to determine which is the former head doctor who went insane—doesn't bear fruit because almost none of the sub-stories tie into the frame story.

Frozen Fear has an almost-worthwhile buildup but anemic finale; The Weird Tailor is a bit unsettling and a bit tragic but cuts too short; Lucy Comes To Stay doesn't have much tension; and Mannequins of Horror didn't sell me at all on the horror of its silly concept.

It's not saying much, but the frame's the best of the three Amicus anthologies I've watched so far (vs The Vault of Horror and Tales from the Crypt). It's like they realised that if you use the narrative glue of a frame story you've gotta either bind the sub-stories with shared themes or plot, or at least make the frame fun or engaging in itself. They just didn't follow through.
