I Bury The Living is a well done 50s low budget horror movie directed by Albert Band.  The premise is simple...the newly appointed caretaker of a local cemetery discovers quite by accident that when he puts black pins in people's pre-bought burial plts, they seem to end up dead....how...and what happens if he puts a white pin in?

Well doe, good suspense and atmosphere

Years ago I had this movie on VHS and I thought it was a pretty interesting story.  I haven't seen it in about 20 years, but the DVD is included in the HORROR CLASSICS 50 MOVIE PACK, so I'll probably watch it again soon.

I know people who have seen it, and liked it, up to the end, which they don't like. I liked it for the fact that it starred Richard Boone. A much underutilized actor, who could play equally well, both the villain or the hero in films, and probably is best known for playing Paladin on "Have Gun Will Travel."

*spoilers*



I thought the ending was what it had to be.  If it had gone the direction that I gess it was originally supposed to have, it would have the problem  of turning from a 'twilight zone' feel into a 'zombie' movie rather abrubtly and I thought that would be pretty akward.  What they ended up with, though, in providing a 'natural' explanation, did feel like it was rushed and had some problems.  But all along, there seemed to be an attempt to keep only the one character as going mad, while those around didn't quite buy it, so a natural resolution did seem more sensible.

You know you're getting up there in age when you say, "I haven't seen it in 20 years."
LOL!

Saw this a couple years ago. Not a bad film starring Richard Boone. Neat idea that didn't come off real great. Worth a look. It's a quality production.
