      It may not be as good as the material it's sourcing, but it's still fun to see so many faces from the genre in one place.

      Time Out

      Three witlessly routine tales (adapted from stories by Chetwynd-Hayes), drearily executed and graced not at all by such luminaries as Pleasence, Magee and Whitman.
