5.0 out of 5 stars
an amazing movie, March 12, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Buried Alive II [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Don't be fooled by this movie's virtually unknown status. It is amazing. The plot is stunning, and it leaves you with an awesome sense of good & evil. I have not seen the first one, and you definitely don't need to to understand everything that goes on. This movie also strikes me as an allegory of sorts. The wife is an almost Messianic figure, and the final scene pictures hell better than any other movie I have ever scene. The ending will send chills up and down your spine. Truly a remarkable film.

Dont ya hate the cover, June 16, 2003
This review is from: Buried Alive II [VHS] (VHS Tape)
makes it look like a horror movie or something. Its a great movie. Woman get buried alive by her husband because he wants out of the marriage but he wouldnt get anything out of it. hes cheating on her. he figures if his wife dies then he gets the money and so he has her buried alive saying to embalm her twice to see that shes dead which obviously doesnt happen because the movie is called "buried alive" and not "embalmed alive". well wifey wakes up and comes back to give her boy what he deserves. great movie. i woulda watched it sooner but the movie was put out to be a horror when actually its not.. its kind of a drama suspense thing. not even much violence really..

Great Sequel to "Buried Alive", August 30, 2007
This review is from: Buried Alive II [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This movie is great. I'm a big Tim Matheson fan. To get the full impact of this movie, you should see the first one "Buried Alive" with Tim Matheson and Jennifer Jason Leigh. The sequel "Buried Alive II" is about a man who poisons his wife to get her inheritance so he can buy a yacht and continue his affair with his mistress. Problem is, once she is dead, he wants a quicky funeral and wants her embalmed twice. As in the first movie, where the wife poisons husband Clint Goodman (Tim Matheson) and he is dead, (so everyone thinks) everything goes wrong at the funeral home. The embalming machine goes berserk and there is no embalming done at all. This is when the movies get really good. Both of them actually. To see what the so called dead spouses do to get revenge on the spouse who poisoned them, but did not actually kill them keeps you on your toes and keeps you in suspense until the very end. As the other reviewers say, this is not a zombie movie. The spouse thought to be dead is actually still alive, but the poison from the fish puts them in a kind of like catatonic state, where they appear dead. This is not a horror movie, but more of a suspense, thriller, drama movie. In any event, if you watch one, you have to watch the other. Excellent movies. Have on VHS would love them on DVD.
