After finishing Torture Ship, director Victor Halperin started production on his next film Buried Alive.[2] The film began shooting in the first half of October 1939 for Producer's Pictures Corporation.[2]
Actor Clem Wilenchick (aka Crane Whitley) was scheduled to play the character of Manning, but as the shooting began he was replaced by Wheeler Oakman.[2] The Call Bureau Cast Service initially mentioned that Archie Twitchell would portray Carson, and was replaced by Dave O'Brien.[2]
Releaseedit
Buried Alive was distributed theatrically by Producers Pictures Corp. on November 6, 1939.[1]
Receptionedit
The Film Daily found the film "falls short of being a convincing drama. It will probably be okay as program material in the smalle nabe houses" but found Halperin's direction merely "O.K."[2]Variety declared the film "Inferior all the way, particularly in its direction and playing, outside of Beverly Roberts".[2]
A critic from The New York Post declared the film "so bad it seems almost like a new experience. Judging from the quality of most of the acting and direction, I should guess that it was a quickie film originally scheduled for six days' shooting but shortened to four" and concluded that "Buried Alive heads the January mustn't list."[2]
