Living Death

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

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.

I've seen this movie before-about 17 years ago! It was called Buried Alive and starred Tim Matheson and Jennifer Jason Leigh and aired on the USA cable network. The plot was nearly identical the only difference was happened after the husband comes back. Buried Alive was better written, directed, and acted. Taken on it's own merits, Living Death was okay but nothing special. Having seen Buried Alive, Living Death was monotonous at best. Kristy Swanson was cardboard. None of the characters were developed fully. There was waaaay too much going on. Which I'm sure was intentional to make the simple-minded viewer not realize that the story couldn't stand on it's own. What was the deal with the med students? Did we really need them for the plot? Nope. I would watch this movie again.

This film was aptly named. It was like living death just watching it.

I've seen a lot of REALLY bad low budget horror movies. But this has to be one of the worst I've ever seen.

I wouldn't even want my enemies to sit through this. The only reason I did is because I have a policy to watch movies completely through to see if there are any redeeming qualities.

Not. One.

Outside of the opening scene, there's literally no action, no drama, no tension, no horror for an hour. ONE HOUR. The movie is only 80 minutes and 60+ minutes are spent TALKING, TALKING, TALKING.

EVERY character, including the "heroes" are totally unlikeable. I really wished everyone would've just died. It would have been a more fulfilling ending.

I Hatred this movie. It was so boring and forgettable i watch this stupid garbage start to finish and it was not fun because the acting was so terrible because it had no like ability or interesting personality to speak off. And the story was uninteresting and not that memorable and the only likable thing i find in this movie was that Victor harris tell the story of torture rack history of start of this movie and the Gore in this movie was ok. But it was not enough to like this movie or call it interesting because this movie was literally pile of garbage. Don't watch it at all. If you want to have a boring time like i do watching it.
