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!

Presencias

2022

Presencias is a supernatural thriller that blends classic gothic aesthetics with a modern, psychologically unsettling narrative. Set in an isolated house deep in the woods, the film plays on the duality between what is seen and what is hidden—aptly hinted at by the striking poster, where a mirrored image reveals the disturbing element: an upside-down figure, symbolizing a world turned inside out, where reality loses all certainty. Luis Mandoki’s direction—known for his emotionally resonant touch even in tense dramas—serves the tone of psychological horror well here,... Read More

The Lost Boys

1987

"The Lost Boys" (1987) appears to have been conceived as a work of transgression, an explosion of youthful energy and rebellion against social conventions. However, beneath its surface of action, horror, and humor, the film hides a series of themes and symbols that make it much more interesting and complex than it initially seems. First and foremost, the film is a work of social criticism, focusing on the disintegration of the nuclear family and the search for identity among young people. In this context, the vampires represent a metaphor for corruption and decay,... Read More

Black Moon

1975

"Black Moon" is a work that stands out for its originality and its ability to tackle themes such as sexuality, violence, and social disintegration. The film is characterized by a non-linear narrative and an atmosphere of dream and nightmare. The images are suggestive and oneiric, with a clever use of light and color to create an atmosphere of tension and anxiety. Cathryn Harrison's performance is remarkable, and her interpretation of Lily is fragile and sensitive. Therese Giehse is also excellent in the role of the mysterious woman, and her presence on screen is... Read More
