Rating: 4/5 -- Interesting if not totally successful adaptation of Bradbury's stories.

Rating: 2/5 -- Uma antologia mal disfarçada de unidade narrativa, o filme é terrivelmente datado e conta com um ritmo irregular, desperdiçando o material original de Bradbury.

Rating: 2/4 -- ...sporadically interesting but mostly dull. Full Review
Reel Film Reviews

Rating: 2/4 -- It has its weaknesses -- of acting, of character -- but they are not fatal. What finally brings the movie down is its inadequate attention to the expectations of the audience. Full Review

Rating: C+ -- A peculiar sci-fi film that was loosely adapted from a Ray Bradbury book of short stories. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- Rod Steiger does what he can to anchor this slightly dreary and depressing film version of Ray Bradbury's The Illustrated Man. Full Review

Description by OLDIES.com:

Robert Drivas portrays a good-natured drifter who can't tear his eyes from Rod Steiger's freakish illustrations; Claire Bloom is the mysterious seductress who created the "art" that curses its bearer - and comes to life in a nightmarish trio of tales. Two spoiled children turn playtime into slay time (from The Veldt). Shipwrecked astronauts wander across a planet cursed by The Long Rain. And loving parents choose their children's fate when the end nears (from The Last Night of the World). Every one of The Illustrated Man's pictures tells a story. And every story ends in terror.
