Movie Reviews of Dead & Buried (Limited Numbered Edition - 50,000 copies)
Movie Review: A Look Back At A Piece Of Early 80's Horror
Summary: 4 Stars
Y'know, it always surprises me when a Horror fan
of "my" age still stumbles across a film from the 80's
I haven't seen yet, and this time it was Dead & Buried.
This film, sort of a cross between Salem's Lot, The Stepford Wives, and Invasion Of The Body Snatchers, was a decent
way of going back to see how Horror was handled
in the early 80's (though honestly, it reminded me more
of a late 70's flix). Almost every character actor starting out
is in this flix, including Robert Englund in his third big screen role.
Stan Winston's effects are used here and while they're nowhere
near the quality of what he did in "The Thing" a year later, you can see that this guy was going to be one of the FX giants. Not that this is a gorefest, it ain't, but the effects are modest and help the story continue. This story, about a mortician who is able to bring the recently departed back to life and integrate them as residents of Potter's Bluff, was somewhat original for it's time. And the ending must have been a grandaddy to shocker conclusions like for The Sixth Sense and others.
I enjoyed it, made me think back to what Horror was like back in the day. The bonus disc has three documentaries that are just as entertaining as the movie, especially the Robert Englund one, where he talks about his career up to that point and seems to reflect back on this movie quite fondly (he showed up to talk about it, didn't he?). Anyway, if you like the pacing of some of those older 70's/80's American Horror films, this should be for you.
Summary of Dead & Buried (Limited Numbered Edition - 50,000 copies)
Overlooked during its theatrical run but a cult favorite on video, this unique and chilling take on the zombie film finally joins the digital ranks with a two-DVD set from Blue Underground. James Farentino stars as a small-town sheriff who discovers that the victims in a string of grisly murders are reappearing seemingly alive and unharmed. His investigation leads him to suspect that the local mortician (Jack Albertson) is somehow responsible for these reanimated corpses; what Farentino doesn't know is the extent to which the entire town-himself included-is involved. First-time viewers will appreciate director Gary Sherman's attention to pacing and atmosphere, as well as the often darkly humorous script by co-producer Ronald Shusett and Dan O'Bannon (Alien, Total Recall) and the solid cast (which includes future horror star Robert Englund); longtime fans will appreciate the fact that Blue Underground's uncut print restores many of Stan Winston's gruesome special effects. --Paul GaitaHorror DVD Video
