This is another of Roger Corman's Poe adaptations and certainly has a "haven't we been here before ?" air to it.
Dour Ray Miland steps in for the presumably unavailable Vincent Price as Guy Carrell, a British aristocrat consumed by a fear of being buried alive. As usual he's guarded by a devoted but ineffectual sister, Kate ( Heather Angel ). Guy tries to break up with fiance Emily but she persuades him to go ahead with the wedding. That doesn't stop him fretting.
It's got all the customary Corman trademarks and is watchable throughout although the revelations at the end don't cover everything that's gone before and leave you dissatisfied.
Hazel Court ( as Emily )
Sex : Emily's nightdress is fairly see-through
Death : Suffocates from earth piled on top of her
Hazel shines again in this one without revealing as much flesh.
