And in the same store i found and bought :

Captain Kronos vampire hunter,

Fulchi's The Beyond (the collector's tin)

and i ordered a copy of Fearless Vampire Killers (Polanski)

well, i watched dead and buried last night.

i'm glad i have it .. but i have to admit that i was a bit let down.
There were a couple of good shock scenes but the rest of it had the look and feel of a made for TV movie.

Plust i wasnt crazy about the acting ... of anyone in the film.
Also the voices seemed a bit off, like they didnt match. Maybe it was bad looping from an era where they didnt think people would notice, i dunno.

It's also the kind of horror where plot devices are inserted for the convenience of the scares. Most make absolutely no sense.
I'm not talking about the basic premise, but more incidentals.

I dont want to put in spoilers so if you've seen the movie and are wondering what i'm talking about PM me.

I guess i was expecting a tighter smarter film, as i remember the book being.

Anyway, i'm glad I saw it, i dont regert buying it .. i guess my expectations were set a little too high..

I bought Dead and Buried and watched it tonight. I liked it. It has a nice ending, average acting and some good 'jump out' scares. Overall, I would say it's a nice little niche title worth owning, especially for the $10 price tag at Best Buy.

I would have bought the double disc set. What's on the second disc? There are 3 commentaries on the single disc .

I watched it again today while listening to the writer/producer/actress commentary. The commentary was really good. Tomorrow I'll listen to the Director commentary. And I think I am actually really digging this movie now. Glad I bought it.
