Review of I Bury the Living (1958) by Suzanne%20 P — 31 Jul 2017

I came across this little gem one Saturday afternoons watching Comet TV. I lItterally sat on the edge of my bed until the very end. It is so unique as regards the storyline and Richard Boone should have been nominated for a Best Actor award that year.

The movie is a wonderful mashup of "The Twillight Zone", "Alfred Hitchcock Presents", and classic Fim Noire. Though the ending is contrived and a bit disappointing, I have learned that the studio forced the director from its original and must more satisfying ending involving zombies because they felt audiences at that time were too sensitive and would not come out to see the movie as a result.

As a self styled conneiusor of classic Obie's of all genres, but especially horror and film noire, this movie gets a solid 5 stars even with the substitituted ending to appease the sensitivity of the masses.
