Four horror stories emanate from the British antique shop called Temptations Limited. Edward Charlton (David Warner) buys a haunted mirror. Hen-pecked Christopher Lowe buys from street vendor Jim Underwood (Donald Pleasence). Reggie Warren (Ian Carmichael) switches price tags and cheats the shop owner on a snuff box buy. William Seaton buys an ornate door. A man tries to rob the shop. Shop owner explains that "The love of money is the root of all evil".
It's an old premise. It depends on the characters. I like the first and last buys. I find their resolutions very poetic. The men in the second and third story are the worst. They are annoying and I couldn't wait for them to die. It's frustrating to watch. I like half of this and the other half is frustrating as heck. It's a very nice British horror, or half of one.
