For years the town has harbored a dark secret, one that the town sheriff has just stumbled across. It seems that a number of strangers who have crossed through Potters Bluff have not only been brutally murdered, but have turned up in town as locals after being killed. Sure that there must be some explanation, the sheriff and the town mortician try to uncover the mystery and find something more shocking than they could have imagined.

"Dead & Buried" est un morceau filmé dans le style des films d'horreur américains des années 80 avec une atmosphère 'quelque peu' mystérieuse, mais pas aussi mystérieuse que celle de "The Fog", qui était conçu de manière similaire. Parfois, un film d'horreur maladroit, mais un dénouement surprenant le sauve.

This was my first meeting with the Shockproof Film Festival and it was a properly wacky horror trip. There’s probably no point in trying to describe the story. What intrigued me, however, was the atmosphere, as it seemed to allude to the best of Lovecraft, the plotline included. The entire thing is properly gloomy and moderately scary with a bit of gore. But the atmosphere is the best thing about it.

The dense Lovecraftian atmosphere of a backwater coastal village with crazed murderous inhabitants grabs you right from the start. The rest is then kept on the move by Stan Winston's terrific work, properly horrific set design (the ending with the projectors), and decent cinematography. It's just a shame that the dialogue fell victim to the film's radical change in genre (it was originally intended to be a horror comedy) following a change of sponsor.
