Overview

An atmospheric British omnibus film presenting three tales of murder and the supernatural. In “In the Picture,” a museum attendant is drawn into the eerie world within a painting. In “You Killed Elizabeth,” two lifelong friends become suspects when the woman they both love is murdered. In “Lord Mountdrago,” a disgraced politician seeks revenge on a powerful statesman by exploiting his dreams. Linked by a recurring figure, the film blends psychological horror, mystery, and fantasy across its three interconnected stories.
