**Great practical effects with an unsurprising mystery. _Jack Albertson_ is brilliant in this.**

This is a fun one. It's especially fun for me seeing Mendocino (the primary filming location) as it looked in '81. Cool piece of history. That said, despite the decent cast, the acting is pretty mediocre. Which also matches the story. BUT, it still manages to be entertaining. Enough so that I've watched it multiple times. They use a cool filming mechanism (I'm sure it has a name) during the attack sequences. I kept pausing to check out all the details. Fun watch, especially if you're familiar with Mendo.

Feels like this should have remained Dead and Buried in the 1980s. I can see how it would have been a shocker in it's time, but the world has moved on, and the themes explored have been done a thousand times since then

You can see the twist coming a mile away and that's alright. But how this movie manages to slip under the radar of HP Lovecraft fans is a mystery to me.

"Dead and Buried" had been just that, sitting in my watchlist for years. I finally decided to take the plunge and it turned out to be a more entertaining watch than I'd thought it would be. The opening scene was a real shocker and the last half of the movie kept my interest, which is sometimes a p More

Dead and Buried is an early '80's horror mystery that feels like a very long episode of Tales from the Crypt.
There are some very good aspects here, but for some reason the movie just never felt like it had a clear purpose - I'm going to blame the writing or the director. That aside, there is much More

_**Mysterious deaths in a foggy coastal town**_

A puzzled sheriff in a hazy seaside hamlet in Maine (James Farentino) investigates a string of violent murders. Jack Albertson plays the mortician while Robert Englund appears as a mechanic in his pre-Freddy Krueger days.

"Tales from the Crypt" (meets The Stepford Wives) like story that has plenty of entertainment value even though it's more on the creepy spectrum than scary. Jack Albertson as the mortician was a lot of fun and James Farentino had his moments. **3.75/5**
