Four segments: "The Girl with Golden Breasts" (woman gets a breast enhancement with ghastly consequences) , "Jigoku" (couple on vacation in Japan, she falls for a guy who then dies and...), "Stanley's Girlfriend" (a director and a screenwriter, plus the former's girlfriend, are a threesome of sorts, with a supernatural element), and "My Twin, the Worm" (a pregnant woman is infected with a tape worm and must let it grow because the treatment would hurt the fetus).
Mostly derivative horror. The set-up is practically the same as Tales from the Crypt (1972); The Girl with Golden Breasts is a close variation on Rabid (1977); Jigoku is based on the Tristan and Isolde medieval narrative; Stanley's Girlfriend is so stupid that it couldn't be based on anything else; My Twin, the Worm has an interesting and, as far as I know, original premise, but is probably the least well directed of them all.
