From Beyond the Grave
Short description
An antiques shop in London, run by an elderly proprietor, draws in customers who are tempted by the objects on offer. Some try to cheat the old man or bargain dishonestly, and each of them leaves with more than they bargained for. The film follows four separate customers whose purchases bring strange and frightening consequences, with the shopkeeper's response reserved above all for those who wrong him. The stories centre on objects including a mirror, a medal, a snuff box and a door.
This British anthology horror was directed by Kevin Connor, appearing between The Land That Time Forgot and At the Earth's Core among the films he directed. Peter Cushing plays the Proprietor, with David Warner, Donald Pleasence, Ian Ogilvy, Ian Carmichael and Lesley-Anne Down heading the four stories. Robin Clarke and Raymond Christodoulou wrote the screenplay, and Max Rosenberg and Milton Subotsky produced for Amicus Productions alongside Warner Bros. Pictures. The film runs 97 minutes and was released in February 1974.
On TMDB it holds a rating of 6.5 out of 10 from 153 votes, a moderate score suggesting a mixed but generally favourable response from those who have seen it.
