Movie Reviews

SFX Magazine - 9/10 by Ian BerrimanSure, this is basically just like an extended episode of The Twilight Zone, but that's no bad thing, since it's like a good episode.
Needcoffee.com - 7/10 by Widgett WallsTurns out it's a lot like an Outer Limits episode that somehow escaped and became a feature.
User Review - 10/10 by Robert SI came across this little gem one Saturday afternoons watching Comet TV. I lItterally sat on the edge of my bed until the very end. It is so unique as regards the storyline and Richard Boone should have been nominated for a Best Actor award that year. The movie is a wonderful mashup of "The Twillight Zone", "Alfred Hitchcock Presents", and classic Fim Noire. Though the ending is contrived and a bit disappointing, I have learned that the studio forced the director from its original and must more satisfying ending involving zombies because they felt audiences at that time were too sensitive and would not come out to see the movie as a result. As a self styled conneiusor of classic Obie's of all genres, but especially horror and film noire, this movie gets a solid 5 stars even with the substitituted ending to appease the sensitivity of the masses.

User Review - 8/10 by Kevin RHow would you like to get a cemetery plot as a wedding gift? A family member dies and leaves the position of director of the cemetery to his son. The son reluctantly takes on the position and ventures down to the cemetery to understand how the place works operationally. The business man is shown a map that is marked white for still alive and black for dead and in the ground. The business man discovers if he marks someone black that is alive the person dies. Is it the map or purely a coincidence? "The only question is does a man die during his own time or the map's." Albert Band, director of Ghoulies II, She Came to the Valley, Honey I Blew up the Kids, Robot Wars, and Grand Canyon Massacre, delivers I Bury the Living. The storyline for this picture is very entertaining and the death scenes are pretty good. The acting is very solid and the cast includes Richard Boone, Theodore Bickel, Peggy Maurer, and Howard Smith. "He marked the young couple for death." I DVR'd this picture this past Halloween and just now got around to seeing it. I can say I adored this picture and found it fun to watch unfold. It is not a perfect picture or particularly intense but I found it very entertaining and worth viewing. I strongly recommend giving this film a shot. "All you do is show up once a week and sign the checks." Grade: B+
User Review - 8/10 by Dakotah SThe first few minutes of this seemed really shoddy, but I found myself really digging this movie once it got started. The caretaker guy has a really silly accent, but he's actually pretty fucking creepy aside from that. This movie is about a businessman who comes into possession of a cemetery where putting a black pin on someone's cemetery plot can kill them instantly...or so it seems. The film is a really effective thriller, and Richard Boone does an awesome job as the protagonist, conveying a claustrophobic sense of panic very, very well. This is a very bare-bones movie, with no kills happening on screen, but don't let that deter you: the atmosphere is off the charts, and I really found this whole thing captivating and interesting when it got started. I couldn't predict where this was going even one bit, and the ending was definitely a surprise. Recommended.
User Review - 8/10 by Elena .My favourite cult film. It has everything that I believe makes a cult film good. The highlight was the foreboding atmosphere, and in particular, the mind-twisting, surrealistic centerpiece. According to Bela Lugosi, what makes a horror film marrow-chilling is its ability to connect with the subconscious on a mythical level, a quality this movie has.
User Review - 8/10 by Steve MI Bury the Living Starring: Richard Boone, Theodore Bikel, and Peggy Mauer Director: Albert Band When Robert Kraft (Boone) takes his turn as chairman of the town's cemetary (a duty that all of the leading citizens eventually end up with), he approaches the job in a blase fashion. What does it matter if he marks vacant (yet spoken-for) grave sites with white pins and occupied graves with black pins on the large map in the chairman's office? Well, it matters a great deal, because Kraft discovers that when he inserts a black pin in a vacant grave, its owner is soon killed so as to make the map accurate. "I Bury the Living" is a fabulously atmospheric little horror film that captures the best elements of a Hichcock film and a Rod Serling-scripted episode of "The Twilight Zone." Although the script is a bit weak at times--some characters seem to be here for no reason other than someone thought they should be, because they are traditional genre standards, such as the Love Interest and Scoop-Hungry Reporter--the way it and the director manage to evoke a growing sense of dread, and the way the twist ending is set up and implimented are expertly done. I also love the way the map of the cemetary becomes a character unto itself as the film progresses. This is another one of those overlooked gems that's worth a look by horror fans and mordern filmmakers. Yes, it plays a lot like a "Twilight Zone" episode, but it can show all those people out there producing brainless horror movies what can be done with just one room--the best and spookiest parts of the film happens entirely in Kraft's little office on the cemetary grounds. Check it out. I'm sure you'll find, like I did, that this is one those films that's worth watching more than once.
User Review - 8/10 by Shawn WReminded me so many times of the Twilight Zone, but that's a good thing and I thought Boone gave a great performance.
