Synopsis:

From the writers of the smash hit outer-space shocker, Alien, comes a new, earth-bound terror: Dead & Buried. James Farentino is the local sheriff and Jack Albertson the town coroner in this horrorific expose of voodooism in a small seaside town.

When the tale begins, a visitor to Potters Bluff is brutally beaten, while dozens of townsfolk film the massacre. Then the battered man is tied to a tree and set ablaze. And this is just the beginning – the first in a series of gruesome murders that lead sheriff Dan Gillis (Farentino) on a fascinating odyssey into the intricasies of voodooism.

Who is the voodoo master who must cut out the hearts of his victims and hide them to retain control? Who is the demented mind that has reincarnated bodies long Dead & Buried?

Superlative makeup and special effects add to the sensational horror of this macabre thriller – a home video treat guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat.
