From Beyond the Grave - The Film That Will Make You Rethink Shopping at Thrift Stores

Have you ever thought about buying a vintage item and worrying that it might be cursed? No? Well, after watching From Beyond the Grave, you might start thinking twice before haggling with an antique dealer who looks as sinister as Peter Cushing.

This little gem of British horror takes us through an anthology of tales that feel like episodes of The Twilight Zone, but with that unmistakable ‘70s touch—questionable fashion choices, homemade special effects, and actors delivering performances with the enthusiasm of someone paying off a mortgage.

The film follows various customers who, in search of bargains, end up with haunted objects, vengeful spirits, and horrific fates. And the moral of the story? Never cheat a shopkeeper—especially if he looks like a retired Nosferatu.

Between eerie scenes and unintentionally funny moments, From Beyond the Grave is perfect for a vintage movie night—especially with friends ready to crack jokes about the absurdity of the plot. Yes, it’s horror, but with the right mindset, it turns into an accidental comedy.
Recommended for fans of gothic horror and kitsch!

Dark Water

2005

An American adaptation of the 2002 Japanese film of the same name, directed by Hideo Nakata and based on the novel by Koji Suzuki (both known for The Ring saga), Dark Water marks Walter Salles' debut in genre cinema. The Brazilian director, already internationally appreciated for Central do Brasil and The Motorcycle Diaries, tries his hand here at a psychological thriller with dark and distressing atmospheres. The setting plays a fundamental role in building the tension: Roosevelt Island, an isolated strip of land in the waters of the East River in New York, presents... Read More

short night of glass dolls

1971

A classic of Italian horror, gothic and visionary, with a strong symbolic component. Aldo Lado signs a refined work, which combines mystery and political subtexts without being snobbish. Set partly in Prague, the film encountered bureaucratic obstacles, forcing the director to complete the shooting in Zagreb. Excellent cast, with Jean Sorel and a memorable Mario Adorf.

Possession

1981

Horror cinema is full of films considered "cursed", initially censored or banned, but then become true cult films. This is the case of Possession, a film that at the time left even the most expert critics speechless. Difficult to classify, Possession is still a horror film: there are violent scenes, lots of fake blood, a monstrous creature and, above all, the representation of Evil in all its power. But it is also a much more complex film than the classics of the genre. In 1981, Żuławski was already an established director. The film begins by telling, with obsessive... Read More

The House That Jack Built

2018

Yet another controversial and highly disturbing film, which confirms Lars Von Trier as a provocative and unconventional director. The House That Jack Built is an extremely raw authorial horror, designed for an audience with a strong stomach. The film follows a circular structure in which the color red is a recurring element. Von Trier mixes images of works of art, clips from documentaries on concentration camps, cartoons and fragments of his previous films, creating a complex interweaving of symbols and references. Through a powerful visual force, he tries to strike... Read More

Schock

1977

The latest cinematic chapter of the Italian master Mario Bava, Shock, presents itself as a farewell to his directorial career, emerging from a decade marked by a rebirth of Italian cinema imbued with anger, ambiguity and a fascination for the macabre. The film, a cross between giallo, thriller and horror, is a testimony to that essential contribution of Bava, which had already inspired entire generations of directors. In this work, however, one senses the loss of that personal imprint: the meticulousness in the photography, a distinctive sign that had made the director... Read More
