The greatest movie ever!

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

i couldn't help but think of "Buried Alive" when i watched this one,, i like the part where the husband takes his love interest up to the attic,, she is kinky , and well she don't know he's into torture until of course it's too late,, the husband is drunk, uses drugs, pulls guns.. just not a great guy,, so his best friend the lawyer, and the husband's wife conspire to have the husband killed, the lawyer comes up with a toxin , thru a drug connection of his,, they mix it up in his Japanese take out,, he eats it , and bang instant death,, or so we think........ wrong,, doesn't happen he is just temporarily paralyzed, then when he wakes up , he is already being covered over,, and thrown into the ground, by some med students trying to cover up what they had done to him,, operate on a living guy,, instead of a dead one,, so he goes on a killing spree,, i mean wouldn't you be mad if you were buried alive,, scuse the pun.. excellent movie though.

Living Death is a poorly done movie. The acting is okay, but thats about it.The suspense and horror part of it sucks though, and there isn't much to work with. The script just isn't that great, and it seems like it was thrown together within just a few days. It is basically your average, trashy B-movie. If you like anyone in the cast, sure, rent it, and if you like cheesy horror films then you will like it. With the exception of those things, its a movie you should skip. (my rating)Rated R for strong bloody violence, language and some drug content

"Living Death" is a below-average, yet still somewhat interesting feature.**SPOILERS**After his father's death, Victor Harris, (Greg Bryk) rushes home to his wife Elizabeth, (Kristy Swanson) the good news about his rich inheritance payoff. At his birthday party, she decides that she's had enough of his behavior, and plots with her lover, Roman Arbogast, (Joshua Peace) also his lawyer, to kill him so that they can live off his money. Going through with their plans to do him in, he is successfully poisoned and declared dead by the authorities. In the midst of a round of legal battles over what to do with the body, they find out that the drugs that were used may not have been lethal and that he could still b alive. When he regains consciousness, he finds himself buried alive, and remembering what happened to him, sets out to avenge his death before they can find him and stop him.The Good News: When it tries to, this one has some pretty good stuff to it. It's pretty much just about the few good moments in here that derive most of the film's watchability. The regeneration sequence, which occurs during the autopsy, is one of it's best scenes, as the surgeries done for the autopsy allow for some brutality in all the snapping limbs and torn-open details, and the creepiness of being awake during the procedure is played up and used nicely in here to good effect. Even better is that it leads to one of the better gore scenes around, as there's some nice kills and bloodshed unleashed in the massacre afterward. The opening to the film also works, as the introduction done with the walk-through of the creepy house up into the torture museum is pretty nice, leading to some really nice atmospheric shots, and the tense and creepy torture museum is capped off with a fantastic pay-off. The poisoning scene is pretty great, just with an extra inclusion of the description of the symptoms making it come off rather nicely. The general ease of the situation is merely an added bonus. The ending here is also really great, as the return to the torture museum makes it feel really uneasy, there's plenty of gore to pay-off the dryness of what came before, and with some really tense moments of stalking go before it, and overall is one of the best features of the film. These here are the film's big positive points.The Bad News: This one here doesn't have a whole lot of flaws, but the ones that are here are pretty big. The main one in here is that, outside of the mentioned scenes earlier, there's nothing at all that keeps the interest level in the film. Far too often it's just deadly dull, as nothing happens, there's no atmosphere or tension or it's a collection of scenes that serve the plot for no purpose. There's simply no need to see the birthday party in here, as the dancing, drinking and poker game provide nothing of interest and are just a collection of scenes that offer up a bunch of time in the film for no real reason. The numerous liaisons between them don't amount to much, and the way that they go about this doesn't offer It's also undone by the fact that the drug isn't slipped until the forty minute mark, so there's a bunch of scenes that are before that which make the film so deathly dull since nothing happens until then which actually gets the plot moving, and once it does, it's another long period before he's up and revived, making for a long, long period of time before the film actually does anything that's worth watching. The fact that the ending to the film is also pretty off, mainly due to how rushed it is. There's a sense that it's over really quickly, and for no reason is there to be so rushed. It just ends really quickly, and there's a sense that it should've been milked more than what's given. That's one of the biggest flaws here, and combined with the dullness really saps the film of most of it's power.The Final Verdict: With a few isolated scenes here and there that make it enjoyable and a couple of pretty big flaws, there's something here but not a whole lot. Give it a shot if you're interested or just think it's worth a look, but this one really won't mean much if it's skipped or outright ignored altogether.Rated R: Graphic Violence and Graphic Language

I agree with the first review, totally.But I have to remind the previous reviewer that Kristy Swanson was in "Dude, Where's My Car?" and has not totally been off the screens for the past decade.She does however look ... well, if she were a book, I'd describe her as 'slightly foxed'. Still, she looks better now than she did on the box cover of the 10th anniversary Buffy re-release.This was a 'blind' viewing for me ... I had no knowledge of the film, other than a glimmer of the plot, and was expecting something of a much lower budget than this ... made for TV perhaps ... so the reason I give it a slightly higher score than the previous reviewer is that it hits a higher level of production value than I was expecting it to.
