I Bury the Living

A film review by Christopher Null - Copyright © 2003 Filmcritic.com

Really creepy but very short Twilightish tale of a cemetary proprietor who finds his placing of black pins in the wall map of grave plots leads to the death of the plot's owner. Then he finds if he puts a white pin in where a black one was... Very well photographed in stark black and white, reminscent of Night of the Living Dead, only without, you know, the zombies. Interesting camera tricks alone are worth a look. Very underrated.
