Critics Sentiment
Resurrected Susan and Lee appear at Andy's dorm seeking revenge
The black cat hunts and attacks hitman Halston
The film drops sharply from the acclaimed Lot 249 ending to the widely criticized Cat from Hell segment, falling 3 points as reviewers found the cat story boring and ridiculous.
The film peaks early with the praised Lot 249 mummy story featuring strong performances from Slater, Buscemi and Moore. It hits its lowest point during the maligned Cat from Hell segment which reviewers found tedious and poorly executed. The final Lover's Vow story recovers somewhat with a touching twist ending, while the wraparound story provides adequate but unremarkable bookends.
