Review of From Beyond the Grave (1974) by Paul C — 09 Jun 2017
I hadn't seen this in years, but bought it because I also bought Tales From The Crypt, which I also love - but I actually think From Beyond The Grave is superior. A great mix of humour - horror - creepy stories - some great actors - Cushing is perfect in the shop keeper role and I love the clairvoyant.
And Diana Dors! What a great battleaxe... I guess I've always preferred Amicus films to Hammer, I think because I prefer the contemporary setting and the portmanteau anthology style. People are often saying that short stories are dead these days - but you'd think films like this would be even more popular than ever what our bite-sized life-styles.
A 100% classic as far as I'm concerned.
