Buried Alive (1990, USA/SAF) C-91m. ** D: Gérard Kikoine. Starring Robert Vaughn, Karen Witter, Donald Pleasence, John Carradine, Nia Long, Ginger Lynn Allen. Interesting horror thriller based on motifs of stories by Edgar Allen Poe. Vaughn runs a school for girls, and new teacher Witter soon starts to be suspicious when students disappear without a trace. It turns out they end up in the cellar - behind a wall. Well-directed, with some effective scenes of horror, but story is too uninvolving and lacks suspense. Not bad. John Carradine's last film appearance. Filmed in South Africa.
