Stay for the surprise ending? I'm not sure in which universe this served as the tagline for Love After Death (which bears the title Unnatural Love on Something Weird's DVD), but it's surely one of the most deceptive taglines of all time. I won't give away this thrilling 'surprise', but it is truly one of the most underwhelming denouements in cinema history. As for the rest of this made in Argentina atrocity, there's little to say: a man is buried alive by his adulterous wife, he rises from the tomb for a few minutes of Night of the Living Dead-style graveyard stalking, and then decides nothing would be finer than to peep at women in various stages of undress. Heck, so what if he's a corpse! He might even want to have simulated sex with some of them! None of this is as raunchy or tasteless as it sounds, and the film is a dead bore, though some of the women are quite attractive in a mod late '60s way.

Come for dinner...stay for the surprise ending!
Fun piece of late 60's horror trash
Montel (dorky Guillermo De Cordova) gets buried alive by his greedy and unfaithful wife Sofia (buxom blonde Carmin O'Neal) after suffering a cataleptic fit. However, Montel manages to pulls himself out of his own grave so he can get revenge on Sofia and her doctor lover, although he winds up spending more time peeping on fetching young gals in various stages of undress and even manages to get some, too.
Director Glauco Del Mar keeps the enjoyably seamy story moving along at a steady pace as well as maintains a pleasing sordid tone throughout. The abundance of tasty bare female skin and the fairly racy soft-core sex scenes provide a good deal of sizzle. The neatly varied film library score alternates between spirited shivery stuff and cool loungey jazz. The laughably lousy dubbing possesses a certain campy charm, too. A satisfying serving of silly, yet still quite entertaining sleaze.
