A great double feature from two of the greatest horror directors. The stories are simple yet very enjoyable. Harvey Keitel sure seemed to have a fun time killing cats and making life-size duplicates of his girlfriend. The other story was almost too perfect for Romero, zombie husb... read more
Plays well off of each director's strengths and weaknesses. Disturbingly brilliant.

It was a match made in hell, a dream realized for many horror fans. Full Review
