Shocking, 30 September 1999
9/10
Author: stephen morris (morris22) from malden, mo.

As shocking and gruesome as any film ever made, Buio Omega(Buried Alive) is one of the best horror films of the 70's. It is widely considered to be the best film of the late Joe D'Amato. The plot is a modern spin on Psycho and concerns the character of Frank. After his fiance dies, Frank becomes deeply disturbed and digs up his fiance, stuffs and preserves her and puts her on display. I hesitated to watch this movie because it sounded really sick. It was. As shocking and twisted as it all is it maintains an eery quality and has enough of a plot to make it a fine movie. Those who can stomach shocking films like this should check it out. Love it or hate, it's an unforgettable movie.
