From Beyond the Grave (1975)

Anthology film adapted from four short stories by R. Chetwynd-Hayes strung together about an antique dealer who owns a shop called Temptations Ltd. and the fate that befalls his customers who try to cheat him. "The Gate Crasher" with David Warner who frees an evil enity from an antique mirror; "An Act of Kindness" featuring Donald Pleasence; "The Elemental;" and "The Door."

From Beyond the Grave to the Brink of Dreamland....

I love classic British horror. Unfortunately a superb cast and promising title do not make for an enjoyable experience as witnessed in this film. After the first couple of story, the movie plods along at a sleep-inducing pace. Even the likes of the brilliant Margaret Leighton couldn't save this anthology horror film from losing steam after the first 45 minutes. Skip this and check out the superior Amicus anthology film THE HOUSE THAT DRIPPED BLOOD. August 3, 2008

Why so many high ratings for this movie?

While the movie Tales from the Crypt deserves the highest rating, this movie was extremely disappointing and almost comical rather than terrifying. I'll be giving it away to someone that might appreciate it more than myself. August 1, 2008

"Temptations" from Amicus

This is another entry of British Amicus producers with Peter Cushing as the main attraction here. Compared with other "story collection" like movies by same producers (Dr. Terror's house of horrors, Vault of horror) I would say this one is a bit weaker, except may be for the main connection character played by Peter Cushing. Nevertheless, it has its moments and it is a must see for any fan of early 1970s British horror. The DVD does not bring much extras, but they provide a good analog to digital transfer in widescreen format (English, French and Spanish subtitles are provided). July 12, 2008

PETER CUSHING'S TERROR

I watch this movie a long time ago in a tv program and I consider me a undeniable ardorous fan of Peter Cushing, while to take many dvd fims of this actor in my collection. Unfortunally,this film and many others not was produced in dvd format in Brazil,making myself than I purchase it at the Aamzon.com.
Peter Cushing always exceed your talents and here like antique shop owner,the terror and the macabre are your remarkable personnel marks. It's a british classic horror movie produced by Hammer's rival,the Amicus studios. July 7, 2008

Great Movie!

We found the movie to be very good. My husband who does not care for some of the older movies even enjoyed this classic. June 4, 2008
