Review of Buried Alive

Buried Alive (1989)
7/10
Chicks galore in fun thriller
4 May 2011
Warning: Spoilers
Come on folks, this is a really good B type thriller.

If you don't like seeing the teacher Janet (Karen Witter), former Playboy gal) in sexy professional outfits being chased by the evil doctor (Vaughn) through the dark basement, you need to pop a Viagra pill.

I enjoyed seeing the girl school atmosphere and the hot, saucy, petulant chicks trying to get "reformed".

Sure there are some faults, like the brick wall, undeveloped love interest with the cop. More mayhem, no nudity, etc. Although the brick wall is the Poe reference as Vaughn 'bricks in' people he thinks need time to 'think about things"

But as a fun movie with some popcorn and beer. It can't be beat. I will gladly buy this for a couple of bucks, if I could find it. It seems to be one of the later or last films of the director's career.

Can't believe this genre isn't made again and again. This is one of the better horror films in the 90s. This seems to be some tongue in cheek horror too.

Unlike Wrong Turn which is pure horror and mayhem.

Plot: hot girls in various sexy outfits in a girls school are menaced by the evil controllers of the reform school. Ya' got the green light on this one.

You will love the guest appearance of Donald Pleasance in close ups while munching on peanuts as he quietly observes everything that is going on in the girls school. Good direction, production values (lighting) moves this movie way about cheaper films.
