65/100
”You can try to kill me, Dan. But you can't. You can only make me dead.”
Not at all what I expected and surpassed my notions of what the film could be. A small town that slowly goes mad but told through the singular fantastic performance from James Farentino that makes the entire film worth it. The town is full of surprises and I really loved how you could pretty much guess what was going to happen and yet, the ending threw me for a loop. The design and work put into the film by the effects team really helped elevate the specific things that happen in the movie (don’t want to give away anything) and by time the final moments are revealed, it really comes together to make such an interesting and entertaining film. Dead & Buried was a film I never heard about and it definitely surprised me; in a good way.
