Dead & Buried (1981) N
A local mob kills random visitors in small coastal town. Local sheriff is trying to investigate but doesn't like what he finds out.
A combination of Invasion of the Body Snatchers and zombies that has a smell of The Twilight Zone's trash bin. No real suspense, no proper characters (though there's kinda reason for this) and the story is shaky at best. It's not a comedy (it has some comedic elements though) but otherwise it's a good example of a bad B-horror.
For most of the time Dead & Buried alternates between the wooden sheriff wondering what's going on and some unimaginative random killings. While the concept isn't exactly terrible it falls apart when it's blown out of proportions. Ending and the explanation is hilariously bad. Moderately high IMDb score is surprising.
