Where to Watch Dead & Buried
- Patrick WaiOctober 27, 2025You want to keep watching just to find out what the heck is going on. Entertaining movie that failed to address all the loose ends. Still, worth a watch, for the 80s nostalgia.
- Aaron SladeAugust 9, 2026So underrated its not funny. Very well written and directed, its definitely not the lame slasher movie I thought it was in the 80s judging it in the video store by its cover. Never saw the ending coming.
- Rob MacKinnonMarch 6, 2026I really enjoyed this one. Had no idea where it was going and the ending was great. Some pretty effective gory stuff.
- abovetheclouds63May 25, 2025This movie has an interesting concept that will at least hook you into buying the disc. The makeup effects were great, and the acting was hammy enough that this movie should transcend to "so bad it's good" status thanks to its cheesey line delivery and emoting, alongside its low-budget aesthetic. I think what lets this movie down and prevents it from being a truly enjoyable watch is its pacing. It never really revs up, and though some of the kills are creative, the movie doesn't give the victims enough of a line for you to really care what's happening to them. All that considered, I don't regret spending a couple of hours of my Sunday discovering an old low-budget horror movie from the 1980s that seems to have been largely forgotten.
