Supelice Dreadfully Boring

Konterr Brilliant and touching

Manthast Absolutely amazing

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

ctomvelu1 In 1930s Chicago, a sailor attends his brother's execution, and then starts to see his dead brother everywhere. A mysterious woman warns the sailor to leave town, but instead he begins to look into his brother's past, with the help of a gruff police sergeant (Ralph Meeker) and the brother's former employer, a dance hall owner (Ray Milland). What he finds goes beyond what we consider reality. A very young and handsome George Hamilton stars as the befuddled sailor and Linda Cristal is the bewitching mystery woman. Curtis Harrington directed from a Robert Bloch story, and the atmosphere is creepy and at times nightmarish. Harrington leave no doubt about where things are going by starting off with the brother's execution followed closely by a scene in the dance hall featuring a bunch of marathon dancers looking like the living dead. Within the strict limits of a 1970s ABC-type TV movie, Harrington even lays on a bit of true horror, in a scene when when Hamilton is trapped in a funeral home with a walking corpse intent on murder (Reggie Nalder of "Salem's Lot" fame). There's also a taut sequence in a graveyard when Hamilton and the dance hall owner dig up the deceased brother's grave. And the final showdown takes place in an old-fashioned slaughterhouse that takes on the feel of a hospital morgue. Nicely done, although no one in the star-studded cast is called upon to emote much.

poe426 Robert Bloch could handle any genre (I have a dozen of his short story collections, ranging from murder mysteries to supernatural horror to science fiction, and he handles each with aplomb); nor was he averse to "crossovers." THE DEAD DON'T DIE is an excellent example of a horrifying supernatural murder mystery. Seeing Reggie Nalder rise from his coffin was heart-stopping horror at its very best. As the sadistic "witchfinder general" in MARK OF THE DEVIL (not to mention his turn as one of the kidnappers in the remake of THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH), Nalder had clearly demonstrated that he was one of the screen's scariest stars (a "dark star," if you will). Though he would go on to play NOSFERATU in Tobe Hooper's decent televersion of Stephen King's 'SALEM'S LOT, he was scarier (in my opinion) here.

TheLaughingWolf This long forgotten gem gets my vote as the gr8est zombie movie ever. it was creepy, scary and haunting. Some of DDDs images will stay with you for a long time. George Hamilton does a great job as the lead. I've seen him in a lot of comedic roles and on all those 70's-80's wacky game shows but he pulls this off as a serious actor.I think the biggest mistake horror movies make is when they try too hard to mix comedy in and I was sure that, that was what Hamilton was supposed to do. BOY WAS I Surprised! You won't laugh once. Definitely one for the collection.Buy it... wait till midnight, turn out the lights and enjoy DDD!

kes-5 A thought provoking view of how people may or may not enter into the other side. I found this film to be a very good late night movie.
