“As Blood-Chilling As Being Buried Alive!”
Directed by William Castle
The premise
After his wife and her blind sister have died under his care, a doctor's young daughter is kidnapped and reported as buried alive, leaving him with mere hours to find and rescue her.
Horror Vault's take
A small-town doctor already shadowed by personal loss finds his world plunged into nightmare when an anonymous call warns that his young daughter has been buried alive somewhere in the local graveyard. With only hours to spare, he must race through a web of suspicion, hidden motives, and small-town intrigue before time runs out entirely. Director William Castle wrings every ounce of dread from the premise, delivering a taut mystery where no one around the desperate father can be fully trusted.
