Leave your thoughts about Dead & Buried.
| Slant MagazineBudd WilkinsWith eerie atmosphere to spare, and an emphasis on communal terrors and long-buried secrets, this surprisingly wistful film hews closer to folk horror, suggesting Robin Hardy’s The Wicker Man by way of Willard Huyck and Gloria Katz’s Messiah of Evil. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonGruesome almost to a fault, but not quite, it emerges as an efficient shocker. |
| The PlaylistJason BaileyElegantly constructed, wittily executed, delightfully ruthless, and scary as hell. |
| Horror.comStaci Layne WilsonWhile Dead and Buried is undeniably cheesy and clichéd here and there, it's a surprisingly competent and effective film for being so little-known. |
| The New York TimesJennifer DunningFairly standard and cynical stuff, with enough threatening incidents to satisfy the most jaded horror-film buff. |
| Alternate EndingTim BraytonOne of the most interesting American horror films of 1981. |
| EmpireJustin BowyerA nice twist on the usual small-town-hides-sinister-secret setup, this offers some genuine scares and impressive gore. |
| Bryant Frazer's Deep FocusBryant FrazerThe kind of horror movie that can't be made in Hollywood today -- serious but not high-minded, meticulously crafted but not showy. |
| User ReviewMike LOne of the 1st good horror movies of the 80s.good cast,great mystery and it scared the heck out of a bunch of soldiers I was stationed with in Germany. |
| User ReviewGordon T"Dan; I think there's something you should know." TERRIFIC ENDING to a TERRIFIC and CLASSIC HORROR FILM of its time (of 1981.) I hope TIM BURTON doesn't "pop-up" on R-T saying he's going to redo DEAD AND BURIED as another "twisted" remake. my dad took me to see this at the BUDCO ANTHONY WAYNE THEATER in WAYNE, PA when it was new. I miss the early-eighties "golden age" of low-budget horror and sci-fi movies. |
