The Premature Burial

Artist Guy Carrell (Ray Milland) was possessed of a consuming belief that his late father had been interred alive, in a cataleptic state…and a crippling fear that he was destined for the same fate. His exhumation of his parent’s body in an attempt to face his fears leads to a claustrophobic fulfillment of his terror, in Roger Corman’s chilling take on the Edgar Allan Poe tale. Hazel Court, Alan Napier, Heather Angel, Dick Miller also star. 81 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono; featurettes; theatrical trailer.
