DVD Synopsis

Unjustly ignored by many books on the horror film, I Bury the Living is a bone-chilling little mood piece, almost completed dominated by Richard Boone. Expertly avoiding the obvious throughout the film, Boone gives a thoroughly credible performance of a troubled man who labors under the misapprehension that he is God. Boone plays the new chairman of a large cemetery; in his office is a map of the grounds, with black pins representing the occupied plots, and white pins representing plots that have been purchased but not yet filled. When Boone inadvertently mixes up the black and white pins, several of the plot owners suffer untimely deaths. Inevitably, Boone becomes convinced that he has the power of life and death--a conviction that doesn't completely dissipate once the secret behind the sudden deaths is revealed. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Editorial Review of DVD

Albert Band's '50s horror film I Bury the Living comes to DVD with a standard full-frame transfer. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Mono. Spanish and French subtitles are accessible and the soundtrack is closed-captioned. Supplemental materials include the original theatrical trailer. While MGM/UA has done little to make this disc appealing to a wide audience, the reasonable list price will make it an interesting title for genre enthusiasts. This is the kind of disc for people who miss spending nights at the drive-in. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
