Good start, but then it gets ruined

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.

The sales are on for the moment so it was time to go hunting. I noticed the cover of this movie. A torture scene in the style of SAW so I thought this is a torture porn flick. Two girls are on the cover under blood with let's say, both having more then melons. So you can guess, I bought it. Now that I have seen the movie I can't understand why I bought it. The cover NEVER appears in the movie. Should have known after all those years that covers with naked chicks on it or big boobies are teasers for trash. I should have remembered Gutterballs were it's advertised as a hardcore one.Anyway. The movie starts of pretty well with a guy taking a girl to his house, after a while they arrive at the attic were a torture device stands. The girl gets tortured, suspense, and suddenly this guy's wife appears. End of the scene. Then we get to know the characters, he's a real asshole so his wife and a friend decide to kill him, he returns as a "living death" in the last 23 minutes, then the horror really get's going. The gore is intact and the red stuff flows. It's a shame that between the first 5 and the last 23 minutes nothing really happens. It could have been a really nice flick. I'm not a freak but with all the sex going on and the torture of the girl they could have shown some flesh, but they decided not do do it. Kristy Swanson, the main lead appeared in a lot of movies but never goes full monty. So if you are able to see this flick, watch it without expecting anything and enjoy the gore at the end.

I thought this was fun to watch.Not an Oscar movie, but the story was OK and it was surely entertaining.I just felt to add my comments because the other comments have been so negative.I have watched much more worse films.Oh god now they want me to write more about this movie. Well just see it for yourself. It's quite good fun to rent it out on a board night if you have nothing better to watch.Still they want more lines from me. OK. Go see the movie.

I almost gave up on this movie, it seemed like a drama going nowhere. After almost getting bored with the minimal acting some action kicked in with unexpected humour. Just when the laughs were rolling it turned into a gory horror movie. I gave it what for me is a pretty high rank just because it was able to switch so quickly and keep my attention. If you got an hour and half of hanging out with some friends who are OK with some gory scenes but are not big fans of movies devoted to gore-genre but want a taste of some gore with some humour thrown in then this is the movie for you . Don't watch for an emotionally enriching experience or to be challenged by the plot.
