Buried Alive II is a 1997 American horror thriller television film directed by Tim Matheson and written by Walter Klenhard.

It is a sequel to the 1990 film Buried Alive, and stars Ally Sheedy, Stephen Caffrey and Tracey Needham.

[2] Clint Goodman lives a solitary life under the assumed name Michael Haden, while everyone who knew him believes he died.

[a] Despite the survival of his attempted murder, he now suffers from serious health issues due to the effects of the toxin and his near-death experience.

When his old friend Sheriff Sam Eberly passes away, Clint decides to come back and attend the funeral.

Sam's niece Laura Riskin, who knew Clint a long time before, notices him, but he leaves before she can approach him.

Laura gets into a cardiac arrest and seemingly dies after consuming the wine, realizing as she collapses that Randy has poisoned her.

Over the next days, Randy notices unusual things in his home, including finding Laura's wedding ring, which had supposedly been buried with her.

As they are packing their luggage, Laura traps them both inside a tool shed by shutting and blocking the door with Randy's truck.

Laura asks Randy why he tried to kill her, then blocks off the last vent and leaves in a motorized dinghy, pausing to watch as the yacht sinks.

"[3] The Video Graveyard gave the film two out of five stars and wrote "Ho-hum sequel basically steps into the same plot mold as the original only with the sexes reversed as Ally Sheedy finds herself the victim of a murder plot by husband Stephen Caffrey and his lover Tracey Needham only for her death to be mistaken after which she returns from her grave and extracts revenge.

Pretty tedious with Caffery and Needham eventually slipping into bad acting territory during the finale.

[7] Since its release, the film remained only available in America on out-of-print VHS, distributed by Universal Home Video on March 10, 1998.
