Good Salary, Prospects, Free Coffin

About This Movie

So, Good Salary, Prospects, Free Coffin is this offbeat horror thriller that really nails that eerie, claustrophobic vibe. The pacing's kind of slow, but it works to build tension as the protagonist, played convincingly, dives deeper into this unsettling job hunt. There’s a gnarly blend of practical effects that gives it an authentic feel, especially for a TV movie from the 70s. It’s got that murky atmosphere, like you feel something’s off from the start. Themes of desperation and the looming dread of the unknown really linger long after it’s over. Not your typical horror fare, but it’s got a distinct flavor that stuck with me.

This film has had limited format history, primarily circulating in TV broadcasts and a few obscure VHS releases, which makes it somewhat scarce. Collectors tend to seek it out for its oddball charm and the nostalgia of 70s horror TV movies. Interest is growing, especially with the rise of retro horror appreciation, but it’s still not as widely recognized, so it could be a hidden gem for those who enjoy deep cuts.
