From Beyond the Grave, a review by addicted2dvd

Title: From Beyond the Grave
Movie Count: 70
TV Ep Count: 25
Time Started: 10am
Plot:
 Bolt the door, lower the lights and settle in for a stylish five-episode supernatural shocker possessed of a shivery all-star cast and drenched in evil. Welcome to Temptations Ltd., a decrepit antique shop whose unwary customers get more than they bargain for from the wily proprietor (Peter Cushing). Much more.

Go to the head of the horror class if you can predict who'll join the ranks of the doomed from among this role call of distinguished British actors: Ian Bannen, Ian Carmichael, Diana Dors, Lesley-Anne Down, Margaret Leighton, Donald Pleasence, Nyree Dawn Porter, David Warner and more. A mirror. A medal. A snuff box. An ornate door. All unleash novelty surprises for the characters -- and you -- in these wickedly horrific tales 'From Beyond the Grave'.

My Thoughts:
This one is another I have never seen. A horror movie made in the UK... way back in 1973. It is one of the titles that was packaged in the "Twisted Terror Collection" boxset.  I wouldn't say this is a great horror movie... but I did definitely enjoy it. I liked the old guy that ran the antique shop. And think my favorite segment would be the first one with the mirror. I can see myself watching this one again at some point... but it isn't one I will watch all that often.

My Thoughts:
Look Emma!.... I made it tonight! 

Setting up this episode to review... I never realized till today that Felicity Huffman (Sports Night/Desperate Housewives) was in this episode. Somehow I didn't recognize her in the episode itself. It really is an excellent episode. Interesting story... like the whole no place to go escape to thing. I had to laugh when they decided they had to check their bodies for signs of infection... in front of each other. And Mulder came out with... "Before anyone passes any judgments... let me remind you... we are in the arctic."  But as I said... this is an excellent episode... probably one of the best of the first season!

My Rating:
