DEAD & BURIED

The Creators Of ALIEN Bring A New Terror To Earth

Something very strange is happening in the quiet coastal village of Potters Bluff, where tourists and transients are warmly welcomed... then brutally murdered. But even more shocking is when these slain strangers suddenly reappear as normal, friendly citizens around town. Now the local sheriff (James Farentino of THE FINAL COUNTDOWN) and an eccentric mortician (Oscar winner Jack Albertson in his final feature film appearance) must uncover the horrific secret of a community where some terrifying traditions are alive and well... and no one is ever really DEAD & BURIED.

Robert Englund (A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET) co-stars in this genuinely chilling horror hit written by Ronald Shusett and Dan O'Bannon (ALIEN), directed by Gary A. Sherman (RAW MEAT), and featuring ultra-grisly gore effects by Oscar winner Stan Winston (ALIENS, TERMINATOR 2). DEAD & BURIED is now presented in eye-popping High Definition, completely uncut and uncensored, and loaded with revealing Extras.

Ahhhh! Nothing like a nice cup of piping hot Aztec Hot Chocolate and a modern story of reanimating the dead on a mid November evening. This movie brings you in slowly, murder is just the beginning, you see. The rest, well, lets just say there's really more to it than I was able to suss out until the end. Poor Sheriff Dan. Has the perfect wife, the badge in a small town, lots of friends and charming local neighbors. There's Old Dobs the Coroner/Mortician with a penchant for trying to twist as much cash out of the county as he can for his work. There are photographers, hitch hikers, and waitresses, gas guys, doctors, fishermen, housewives, and they all have one thing in common. Aside from living in the same town that it is. Or on second thought, strike "living" from that last sentence and insert "being in" and maybe a picture will begin to form in your mind of where this film inevitably ended up going. I enjoyed it. Tons of character actors from a wide range of films, and alot of foggy nights, and a dash of morticians wax for the occasional touch up, and you're ready for Dead & Buried.
