MusicChat It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Rainey Dawn Robert Kraft, a man that is hired as a cemetery chairman - and helps to sell plots and keep track of where everyone is either buried or will be buried on a large map of the cemetery. White Pins on the plots of the map means the person is alive and this is where they will be buried, the Black Pins mean the person is now deceased. Oddly when Kraft accidentally puts a black pin instead of a white pin on the plot map the person dies.. it happens more and more frequently to the point he gets the police involved. Does Kraft have the power to kill people with black pins and a map? Excellent cinematography throughout the film - some great stuff there, a good eerie story and the film builds to a great climax. I enjoyed the film.8/10

snicewanger I Bury The Living is a very entertaining little "B" chiller that benefits from a strong performance by the always reliable Richard Boone and it was Boone's only foray into the horror genre.Louis Garfinkle wrote and produced the film, and Directed by Albert Band. Frederick Gately was the cinematographer. Clocking in at 77 minutes it moves at along at a quick pace. If there is a weak spot in the movie it's Austrian actor Theodore Bikels attempt to play the the Scottish cemetery caretaker Andy McKee. With his heavy makeup causing him to look like Captain Kangaroo, he struggles with a Scottish burr in his voice that brings unintentional chuckles to the proceedings. The story concerns Robert Kraft played by Boone who has been appointed the manager of Immortal Hills Cemetery. Kraft comes to believe he has been cursed with the power of live and death over the cemetery plot owners when several of them die after the white pins signifying unoccupied graves are replaced with black pins signifying occupied graves on the cemetery plot map. Boone essays Krafts dissent into an emotional quagmire with a calm but inevitable resolve. The horror takes place in Krafts mind.If you are a blood and gore fan, forget it. This one is a a physiological scare for the imagination.

mark.waltz Then try the men who run the cemeteries where the work of those usually tall, lanky Lurch like men ends up, if not in some crematorium. Creepy cemeteries have haunted audiences ever since the silent movies, and this one is a definite rise above the cardboard headstones of "Plan Nine From Outer Space". There aren't any grave robbers here; In fact, there seems to be a goal in filling up the cemetery rather than taking bodies away for medical experiments. Richard Boone is the new director of the cemetery and as soon as he takes over, the bodies of the board members begin to pile up as the pins on the maps change from "white" (available) to "black" (unavailable), even though the grave plots for the board members have already been purchased. The map gets more sinister looking as the film goes on, looking like a pair of evil eyes staring down at whoever enters the office with definite evil intentions.Right before taking on the role of Captain Von Trapp in the Broadway production of "The Sound of Music", Theodore Bikel added old age make-up to his handsome face to play the very Scottish cemetery handyman who is put out to pasture with a lifetime salary guarantee. He spouts all sorts of Scottish wisdoms as if he was MacBeth on acid, and it is a hoot to behold. Richard Boone is the frantic new director who believes that somehow he might have become possessed to kill off the board and even seems to suffer from blackouts. Obviously made on the cheap, but convincingly set up, this is better than a lot of shock fare released on either the big screen or in drive-ins during the late 50's. One of the cast members, very recognizable, is Herbert Anderson, the wise father of none other than "Dennis the Menace".

Joseph Brando With a title like "I Bury The Living", this certainly is not what I was expecting - this was basically like a longer, more drawn-out version of one of the less thrilling episodes of "Twilight Zone" or "Alfred Hitchcock". The characters were pretty uninteresting, which is really what made this movie unenjoyable for me - very drab, boring, wooden acting. And even the supernatural element in the story was ruined by a terrible "twist" ending. I like lots of older horror movies, many way older than this 80-minute sleeping pill but I would only recommend this to people who saw it when it first came out and are interested in it for nostalgia reasons.
