This was one of the many titles we’d picked up from Ember Films, another small independent distributor that Derek had dealt with many times even before I joined in 1975. Most were rights for our 16mm rental side, (‘The Shooting’, ‘Dial Rat for Terror’, Togetherness’ and others), but a few also had the 8mm thrown in, these included ‘Equinox’ and ‘From Nashville with Music’. I saw this film on its original theatrical release on a double bill with ‘Tombs of the Undead’ another of John Hayes directorial no budget horrors and I don’t think I was very impressed. In ‘Grave’ William Smith goes looking for his father, Caleb Croft, who had risen from his tomb and brutally raped his mother, who’d later given birth and nursed him with her own blood. Now a young man, he sets out on a mission to find and kill his undead father. This was already in distribution at Derann in 1975, and had been a popular title, in both sales and hire, popular enough that it was decided to give it it’s own, simple label.
