From Beyond the Grave

A nice quartet of stories joined together by a linking visit to a back alley antique shop run by a little old man played by Peter Cushing. This movie is very British and filmed in the early 1970s, a combination Im a sucker for every time. The highlight for me was the final story co-starring a pre-fame Leslie Anne Down minus the hyphen in her name. Each story is of the old-fashioned horror style meaning no blood and guts..just creepy, sinister and spooky with a little humor mixed in for story #3. Donald Pleasances daughter acts alongside her father in one of the stories. That was interesting. And the decade + past her prime Diana Dors bravely makes an appearance. An excellent opening credits sequence as the camera pans through a mist enshrouded graveyard with the faint sounds of crying, moaning and screams punctuating the soundtrack.   3/19/11
