Dead and Buried (1981)

From NetFlix:

For years, the coastal town of Potters Bluff has harbored a dark
secret. It seems that a number of strangers who have crossed
through Potters Bluff have been brutally murdered, only to turn
up in town as locals after being killed. Sure that there must
be some explanation, the sheriff and the town mortician try to
uncover the mystery and find something more shocking than they
could have imagined. Stars James Farentino and Melody Anderson.

The NY Times suggested this old horror film as a worthwhile piece of film
history. Technically it is pre-digital age, but the visuals can be scary. It is a
B-film. The production values (dark picture, murky sound) are not much.
It is somewhat of a precursor to “Saw” in that there is some real gore.
Surprise ending (or should I have suspected ?) This film is neither for
adults nor for children. I enjoyed it, but then

I LOVE TRASH.
