 "Buried Alive" is a very gory Italian film telling a tale of necrophilia. While the movie doesn't go so far as to having sex with the dead, it does show close-ups of the necrophile gutting his dead girlfriend and plopping her organs in a metal bucket. He even eats one of the organs as a symbolic gesture of his undying love! Since he can't let her go, he keeps her body in the house, and the second half of the movie is devoted to the necrophile trying to cover-up for his ghoulish activity. He is terrible at this sort of thing, and he even invites all kinds of pretty girls into the same room as the body. The only good to come out of this idiocy is the nudity and a graphic scene of one girl being cooked inside a crematory oven. It's a shame that all this leads to a bad, illogical ending (details intentionally withheld). However to the movie's credit, it does not hold back on gratuitous elements, and the atmosphere is decent, especially in the first half. The soundtrack is often very cheesy but in a strangely enjoyable sort of way; it sometimes sounds similar to that in "Phantasm", though the latter never plays any wah-wah guitars! The bottom line: "Buried Alive" is fairly good though not very intelligent; it is extreme enough to satisfy the gorehounds. |
