 Dead & Buried (DVD)
Newest Review: ... effects, some of which are inventively unpleasant - there are particularly good mutilated faces on display - but they don't ... more  ... really add any real uncanny effect to the film.
After a while the film eschews real frights and coasts along on its plot developments, which are simply not original enough to shock. This is a hybrid of Invasion of the Body Snatchers and a 1970 British horror called Scream and Scream Again, and once you've figured out what's happening (this takes 20 minutes) you'll realise there are only three ways this film can end.
