Review – From Beyond the Grave

This was one of those British horror movies composed of vignettes loosely meshed together by some flimsy bracketing plot. The best example of this particular genre is Dr. Terror’s House of Horrors, though in this movie the tie-together is an antiques store rather than a tarot deck. Most of the sequences are pretty lame, even by the genre’s standards. However, in one a man and a woman actually work together against the forces of evil, unusual for a genre where women are typically either objects to be saved from the forces of darkness or are themselves agents of evil. Sadly, the other three segments (not to mention the tie-together) just weren’t that good. Mildly amusing
