From Beyond the Grave is a 1974 horror film by Amicus, an anthology of tales directed by Kevin Connor. The stars include Peter Cushing, David Warner, Donald Pleasence and Diana Dors.
A corner shop selling a variety of antiques is the main attraction. Each item is cursed, and anyone that steals from the shop is in for a nasty surprise. It includes weird stories about a strange mirror, a snuff box, military medals and an elaborate door. This is quite a lovely looking horror but with that aside, it's creepy in places. It has a very paranormal feel about it.
Fun facts: Peter Cushing also appeared in another film by Amicus called "Dr Terror's House of Horrors." That is also an anthology of horror stories. This is actually the last anthology film by Amicus.
Warning: Plenty of blood
Rating: A modest 7/10
