Five different stories–each revolving around a fatal flaw–make up this movie. The fifth story, for example, is about a neat freak who literally lives in a completely sterile environment and encounters, of all things, cockroaches. The screenplay is by Stephen King from the story "The Crate." King has a bit part in one of the stories. Naturally, macabre entertainment.
