As tales from graves and crypts go, these go quite far enough.

Alternate Ending

From Beyond the Grave, which capped off a run including some of the best-loved horror anthologies ever made, ends things on a high note.

While From Beyond the Grave doesn't quite rank with the best of the anthology horror films, it's still a safe bet for suckers of this sort of thing.

Old school scary. Love the old movie scripts where the acting scares you right and no special effects are needed

It was a nice classic film even for the month of Halloween. I'll admit, the start was a little slow with the first two stories but the last two were really good, not gonna lie. They don't tell you much. You'd have to look up the titles which I had to look up myself but this is as how old school movies go and it is what it is. If I have to rank each story within this anthology flick, it would go The Elemental > The Door > The Gatecrasher > An Act of Kindness. I do recommend this is you're into anthologies in horror style. 7/10.

These four stories really are great, all from items purchased at an Antique shop run by Peter Cushing. However, for honest customers, there is a happy ending and for those who are not they may not live to tell the tale. A great film

I guess back in 1973 that these tales hold terrors for alot of people but this is 2021 and laughable at best!!

In the Amicus anthology From Beyond the Grave, Peter Cushing is the owner of an antique shop dealing in unusual items. Over the course of the film, the plight of four customers is followed after they purchase an item from the odd little business. While the production values are competent and the acting, for the most part, is passable, the movie doesn't succeed for a simple reason – for a horror film, there is nothing remotely scary in any of the four stories. Instead of creating suspense or generating a jump scare or presenting a Rod Serling-like twist, the movie only succeeds in causing the viewer to roll his or her eyes and maybe, just maybe, furrow a brow.
