About
New 35mm made by the Academy Film Archive with support from Roger Corman, Julie Corman and Jon Davison.
Academy Award winner Ray Milland stars in this simmering tale of a man whose fear of being buried alive pulls at the threads of his sanity. One of Roger Corman's acclaimed Edgar Allan Poe adaptations, The Premature Burial is a ghastly horror in which the walls seem to be creeping forever closer.
