The premise
A young psychiatrist applies for a job at a mental asylum and must pass a test by interviewing four patients. He must figure out which of the patients, is in fact, the doctor that he would be replacing if hired.
Horror Vault's take
A newly arrived psychiatrist is put to an unusual test on his first visit to a remote mental asylum: to earn the vacant position, he must interview a series of deeply disturbed patients and deduce which one is the former doctor he hopes to replace. Each patient spins a chilling tale of their own, weaving a web of dread and dark imagination across four interlocking stories. With a cast of British horror royalty and a razor-sharp framing device, this Amicus anthology delivers mounting unease right up to its memorable finale. Fans of classic portmanteau horror will find it difficult to shake.
