One part zombie film, one part murder mystery, and one part Twilight Zone episode. Despite the fact that the early 80's were dominated by slashers, there was still plenty of variety in the horror genre if you knew where to look.

Dead & Buried is an enjoyable horror film that actually beat Sinister to the punch with it's use of home movie footage to show it's most disturbing scenes. Starring long TV staple James Farentino, Jack Albertson (Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory) in his last feature film role, and young up and comer named Robert Englund.
