Tales from the Crypt: The Thing from the Grave starts as Mitch (Miguel Ferrer) kills Bo (Laird Macintosh) the man who has been seeing his model fiancé Stacy (Teri Hatcher). Stacy finds out that he killed her lover & Mitch finds out that she found out so has to silence her but the thing from the grave has other ideas...
This Tales from the Crypt story was episode 6 from season 2, written & directed by Fred Dekker this is a good episode. The script was based on a story from the 'Tales from the Crypt' comic book & has all the usual ingredient's to make it a decent episode, some black humour, a fast pace, a good horror based story & an effective twist ending. The character's are good & at only just over 20 minutes in length it doesn't outstay it's welcome. The only real problem is the lack of originality & the fact it's a touch predictable.
As usual this looks very good with nice production values & it's generally well made, There's some gore here including some bloody gunshot wounds & someone having their fingers cut off along with an impressive looking rotten zombie. The acting is good & Ferrer makes for a slimy villain while this was one of Teri Hatcher's earliest roles.
The Thing from the Grave is another top tale from the crypt that's well worth a watch.
