The newly appointed chairman (Richard Boone) of a cemetery soon discovers that by pushing a black pin onto a plot on a map, he will cause the death of the plot’s owner — yet nobody believes him, and deaths continue to mount…

I Bury the Living is a fascinating find. These days its novelty rests on the fact that it was a horror film starring Richard Boone, best known as the star of the tv series Have Gun, Will Travel. Among genre names it is also interesting for being directed by Albert Band, the father of Charles Band, whom together would form Empire Productions and Full Moon Productions during the 1980s and 90s, making almost exclusively low-budget sf, horror and fantasy films, including the likes of Trancers (1985), Re-Animator (1985), Puppetmaster (1989).

Once one gets past the lurid poster title I Bury the Living has been sold with, Band develops a fascinatingly stark atmosphere. There’s a unique one idea premise – the film could easily have served as an episode of The Twilight Zone (1959-63). Stylistically Band has modeled the film on 1940s film noir. The film develops to where it becomes almost a one-set play that takes place in the graveyard office which is dominated by the giant map of the cemetery plots and eventually becomes backlit as the atmosphere develops. Band develops such an intensively shadowy and haunted tension that when a mundane, non-supernatural resolution is eventually reached it seems an uneasy jolt that is not believable and where the supernatural seems to sit much easier under the circumstances. The film’s intensity and atmosphere however is really quite memorable.
