From Beyond The Grave.
Another Amicus anthology and one of their best. Peter Cushing is a mysterious old chap who runs the Temptations antique shop were every purchase comes with a novelty surprise and a bad end for anybody who robs or cheats him.
the film consists of four stories, and the first tale stars David warner out the Omen who cons Cushing out of an old mirror which the spirit of a creepy old chap lives in. and later after a seance the ghost forces Warner to kill.
The second is my particular favorite and has actor Ian Bannan an ex military man who robs a medal to impress an old match seller(Donald Pleasense). and ends up cheating on his obnoxious wife(Diana Dors) with Pleasence's spooky daughter Emily, a witch(his actual daughter Angela who looks uncanningly like her father).
The next story is rather silly but still loads of fun, and has a chap swapping the price of a snuff box and being cursed with an elemental thingy on his shoulder. and ends up being exorcised by a mad old woman spiritulist called Madam Orloff.
The last tale rounds things off nicely with Ian Ogilvy out of the Saint buying a old gothic door, and a mysterious old blue room that strangely appears when the door is opened. Lesley anne down also co starring as his wife.
Yes, a very enjoyable anthology indeed and all well acted by some great talented actors of the time.
as usual Peter Cushing is superb and gives a top performance as the creepy old antique dealer. and even throws in a extra surprise at the end as well. 85.5 out of 100.
