A waste of time
11 June 2021
"From Beyond the Grave" is one of the duller horror anthology movies I have seen. It has four stories, none of them memorable. Nothing interesting happens in it.

All the stories revolve around an antique shop run by a guy played by Peter Cushing. Each one begins with Cushing being cheated out of an item by somebody, who will then meet a grisly supernatural fate.

I'd describe some of these stories but I can't remember much about them, despite having just finished watching this movie. One was about a haunted mirror that David Warner (CRPG fans will know his voice immediately) cheats Cushing out of, and then people start dying. Probably the most interesting one features a man who is bullied by his family desperately making friends with an ex-serviceman played by Donald Pleasence. He attains a medal from Cushing's shop to prove fraudulent claims that he's a distinguished ex-soldier. I forget how that one ended, though.

The other two stories were dull as dishwater; watching this movie was a waste of time.
