‘A demented twist on Poe’s Premature Burial’ – thevideograveyard.com
From Frank Darabont, acclaimed director of The Shawshank Redemption, The Mist and The Green Mile, comes the terrifyingly claustrophobic Buried Alive.
Starring Tim Matheson (Animal House) as a husband who is buried alive by his cheating wife Jennifer Jason Leigh (The Machinist), this nail biting horror comes to DVD for the first time ever on 17 October 2011.
Hard-working construction company owner, Clint, is married to Joanna, but little does he know she’s having an affair with a doctor and the pair are plotting to kill him to get a hefty insurance payout. One night Joanne injects Clint with poison and with the help of her lover they set about burying him in a shallow grave. But there’s one slight problem; Clint isn’t dead!
Buried Alive is the ultimate revenge movie from the creator-director of awardwinning TV zombie thriller The Walking Dead.
