THE PREMATURE BURIAL

A man, obsessed with the nightmare of being buried alive, suffers a heart attack when he discovers that his father had been, by mistake, buried while still alive. The illness causes him to experience a state of apparent death and when he wakes up, the man finds himself, as in his nightmare, buried in a tomb. He manages to free himself but, now insane, kills his father-in-law, buries his wife alive, but is then eliminated by his sister. A classic of horror signed by Roger Corman, one of the most established genre directors in the sixties, who manages to convey a sense of anguish to the viewer (who is not terrified by the idea of being buried alive?). Far from modern horror films, suitable, for this reason, for a more "mature" audience, but worth watching.
