In between making zombie films, director George A Romero turned his hand to the kind of multi-episode horror comic so popular with British studios a decade earlier.

Perhaps Goreshow would be a better title, as a gallery of Hollywood veterans go through their paces in five grisly tales of the impossible.

The best story hands the central role to screenwriter Stephen King as a hick farmer who splits open a fallen meteorite, only to discover that it grows living green stuff on everything!

The niftily edited first episode is also quite amusing but then the British films were always a mixture of good and bad: this is a pretty fair harvester of their heritage.
