31 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN DAY 11: I BURY THE LIVING 1958 (SHOUT FACTORY/TIMELESS)

Odd but well made 50's horror.

Richard Boone stars as a man who runs a cemetery and soon finds he apparently has the power of life and death.

The map has black and white pins. If he puts black pins on the map then the person mysteriously dies and since this happens many times he decides that if he replaces the black pins with white ones, then the dead will return to life.

The premise is excellent and the acting is top notch with the music score adding a lot to the goings on. It's the ending that really lets the viewer down, and if by chance you haven't seen this movie yet, I won't spoil it. Everything is paced just perfect until the end when you will just sit and say... What??

This has been available on many PD labels over the years and now it is included on the Shout/Timeless collection entitled Movies 4 You: Timeless Horror which also includes "Four Skulls Of Jonathan Drake", "Snake Woman" and "Face Of Marble". Check it out and see if you feel the same about the ending.
