i couldn't help but think of "Buried Alive" when i watched this one,, i like the part where the husband takes his love interest up to the attic,, she is kinky , and well she don't know he's into torture until of course it's too late,, the husband is drunk, uses drugs, pulls guns.. just not a great guy,, so his best friend the lawyer, and the husband's wife conspire to have the husband killed, the lawyer comes up with a toxin , thru a drug connection of his,, they mix it up in his Japanese take out,, he eats it , and bang instant death,, or so we think........ wrong,, doesn't happen he is just temporarily paralyzed, then when he wakes up , he is already being covered over,, and thrown into the ground, by some med students trying to cover up what they had done to him,, operate on a living guy,, instead of a dead one,, so he goes on a killing spree,, i mean wouldn't you be mad if you were buried alive,, scuse the pun.. excellent movie though.

The sales are on for the moment so it was time to go hunting. I noticed the cover of this movie. A torture scene in the style of SAW so I thought this is a torture porn flick. Two girls are on the cover under blood with let's say, both having more then melons. So you can guess, I bought it. Now that I have seen the movie I can't understand why I bought it. The cover NEVER appears in the movie. Should have known after all those years that covers with naked chicks on it or big boobies are teasers for trash. I should have remembered Gutterballs were it's advertised as a hardcore one.Anyway. The movie starts of pretty well with a guy taking a girl to his house, after a while they arrive at the attic were a torture device stands. The girl gets tortured, suspense, and suddenly this guy's wife appears. End of the scene. Then we get to know the characters, he's a real asshole so his wife and a friend decide to kill him, he returns as a "living death" in the last 23 minutes, then the horror really get's going. The gore is intact and the red stuff flows. It's a shame that between the first 5 and the last 23 minutes nothing really happens. It could have been a really nice flick. I'm not a freak but with all the sex going on and the torture of the girl they could have shown some flesh, but they decided not do do it. Kristy Swanson, the main lead appeared in a lot of movies but never goes full monty. So if you are able to see this flick, watch it without expecting anything and enjoy the gore at the end.

I almost gave up on this movie, it seemed like a drama going nowhere. After almost getting bored with the minimal acting some action kicked in with unexpected humour. Just when the laughs were rolling it turned into a gory horror movie. I gave it what for me is a pretty high rank just because it was able to switch so quickly and keep my attention. If you got an hour and half of hanging out with some friends who are OK with some gory scenes but are not big fans of movies devoted to gore-genre but want a taste of some gore with some humour thrown in then this is the movie for you . Don't watch for an emotionally enriching experience or to be challenged by the plot.

(Spoiler alert: partially discloses plot)This flick is not as bad as I might have thought. It actually has a somewhat interesting plot. The sound quality stinks though, turn it up high enough to hear the dialogue and the "music" (such as it is) is overwhelmingly loud and blasts you away.Caddish rich-heir-from-Daddy husband, sexy wife (yum, great kisser) and her lover, his best friend. Wife and lover off the cad with blowfish-poison. Only he doesn't die, he is paralyzed like dead but still sees and hears everything but can't move a muscle ("Living Death"). He wakes up on the autopsy table and goes on a revengefest. A medieval torture stretching rack features twice in this horror-genre flick. Daddy had a hobby, a fully equipped attic medieval dungeon that hubby, and implicitly his wife, use for fun and games. The movie starts with yon cad entertaining a lady friend up there with some erotic moderate stretching on a large angled rack (severe unpadded heavy iron manacles, ouch). Things go awry when his wife surprises them. Startled, he leans too hard on the lever and damages the rackee. One gets an impression of the rack's dismembering strength but pictures of the mechanism are unpersuasive, just closeups of gears meshing and chains and ropes tightening. The rack figures again at the end of the movie in the vengeancefest, this time as a torture and execution means. No erotic BDSM this time, but pain and dismemberment. The scene suggests the horror of the real thing beyond erotica when it was used for torture and punishment, much less execution. Anyway, I've seen worse horror-genre flicks. If you're a rack aficionado it's worth a look.
