This is a Film only review. No spoilers contained! After reading two separate reviews on this film I became quite intrigued and put this on my little list of films to watch. I couldn't imagine how it would be possible to create a whole film based in just one location, let alone a coffin, and with only one character? ...  Read the complete review

After seeing this film advertised on its release I was very keen to see it as I love Horror/Thriller films and the idea of being buried alive truely terrifies me. So I figured that this film would make for edge of the seat viewing. It also starred Ryan Reynolds who happens to be an actor that I quite like and I was certain that any film ...  Read the complete review

It's been a while since I last posted a review, but don't worry readers I am still alive. No need to arrange my funeral just yet. Speaking of premature burials that chilling scenario is exactly what Paul Conroy, the star of Buried, has to endure. When the film begins we learn that the American truck driver has been presumably buried ...  Read the complete review

I came across this in Blockbuster but I'd heard about it beforehand online and on the radio. I was curious as to the concept of a film revolving solely around a guy being buried, though I didn't really think we'd be buried alive with him for the duration. Surprisingly it wasn't a bad watch, thanks to Reynolds playing lead, but it may ...  Read the complete review

Your first instinct would be to move but as you try to sit up you bang your head against something, you reach to the side of you but your arms and hands come into contact with something too. Panicking you fumble around for a source of light, ...  Read the complete review

Film Only Review In one way, Buried is an interesting concept, rarely explored. The entire movie is set in a box and we only ever see one character, although we are introduced to many other's throughout. In one way, it is utterly intriguing, because it calls upon its audience to engage with a character in a terrifying and ...  Read the complete review

I went to see this film at the cinema last year so it is a review of just the film and not the dvd. I had only read a small bit on the cinema web site about what the film was going to be about and it sounded like it was going to be quite a good story. The film was quite different to how I had imagined it was going to ...  Read the complete review

Now who would have thought that a movie where the whole 90 minutes is just a man lying in a box could be so interesting. After all it would take a man of many talents to be able to keep the viewer hooked, maybe the likes of De Niro, Pacino, even Edward Norton. However the man in the middle, turns out to be comedy funnyman Ryan Reynolds ...  Read the complete review

I thought this would be quite an interesting idea when I first heard of it~ a sort of tense thriller~ but it falls short of my expectations and misses the mark. ~~~THOUGHTS ON PLOT~~~ Truck driver Paul Conroy (Ryan Reynolds) wakes up buried in a coffin with a lighter and a cell phone. The last thing he remembers is being ...  Read the complete review
