Buried

Paul Conroy is not ready to die. But when he wakes up 6 feet underground with no idea of who put him there or why, life for the truck driver and family man instantly becomes a hellish struggle for survival. Buried with only a cell phone and a lighter, his contact with the outside world and ability to piece together clues that could help him discover his location are maddeningly limited. Poor reception, a rapidly draining battery, and a dwindling oxygen supply become his worst enemies in a tightly confined race against time - fighting panic, despair and delirium, Paul has only 90 minutes to be rescued before his worst nightmare comes true.


This movie was a hell of a creepy premise. And it was really creepy to watch for a long time. However, as time went on I kind of got bored. This would make a much better episode of television with a 41 minute running time . . . . like CSI did a couple of years back. It also might have been a little bit better to leave the coffin from time to time. It was still watchable but felt dragged out for a while in the middle before picking up steam again.


I would sort of recommend people checking this out. Its a good premise and has a short running time but there is a dead zone in the middle that kills the tension too much before the pick up at the end.
