Doesn't have the same feeling of death infecting all areas of life of some of the strongest Corman/Poe pictures, but does have quite a few good moments of panic with the concept. The character is anxious about potentially being buried alive and we know his anxieties will come true and Corman and Milland do nail the scene when that finally happens.

Krush Groove 1985
It's a vehicle to underline the burgeoning success of Run DMC, and the budding rap scene of New York, but Sheila E has vastly more screen presence than all of her co-stars, and steals the movie from them. Ernest Dickerson's cinematography has a lovely popping quality with bursts of color that suggests his love of Mario Bava in the various club scenes and showcases of live performance. The actual nuts and bolts of the plot are super threadbare and boring, but the music is good. I like that the Beastie Boys get booed.

Imagine the poor sap who died in this universe because he couldn't hold in a fart.
