Dead and Buried
Directed by Gary Sherman
In Potter's Bluff, unsuspecting visitors are being brutally murdered by groups of locals. But when the sheriff starts to investigate, he uncovers a dark conspiracy involving voodoo, witchcraft and his own wife! Gary Sherman's Bradbury-esque chiller boasts an impressive horror pedigree, including effects by Stan Winston, a script from the writers of ALIEN, and Robert Englund in a supporting role. But the scary standout is surely WILLY WONKA's Jack Albertson, who delivers a wonderfully wicked performance as the creepy town mortician with some long-buried secrets.
Unsuspecting visitors to a small town are being murdered by groups of locals.

Trash. I am stunned it got so many good reviews.
For all the hype this movie gets on every "must watch" horror movie list, I was pretty unimpressed. It wasn't terrible, but it didn't really have enough of anything to really stand out. The scenery, plot, gore, and acting were all sort of "meh."
Honestly - from the trailer I thought it'd be super corny and while it wasn't very scary it was still pretty fun.
Great movie!
Honestly, would've been effective as an anthology short, but drags on seemingly endlessly for 93 minutes. Also wildly over-acted and the inventive deaths / special effects are interspersed with scenes of goofy tedium. Somehow, still entertaining.
