Buried
As an American civilian truck driver working in Iraq, Paul Conroy's convoy is attacked by a group of Iraqi insurgents. Some time later, Paul awakes in a coffin with only a lighter, a cell phone, and his ever-growing anxiety. Faced with a dwindling oxygen supply and a dying battery, he must fight panic, despair, and delirium as he races against time to escape the claustrophobic death trap. From TMDB

We talk about Romero a lot, but when you think of indestructible zombies hungry specifically for brains, you're thinking O'Bannon.

unlabelledView post →Gary Sherman’s Dead and Buried (1981) is an absolutely perfect little horror movie. Sort’ve a sleepy Re-Animator in Murder She Wrote’s Cabot Cove, a sweet spot between Messiah of Evil and The Fog just oozing with rural seaside evil and mood to fucking spare. Small town apocalypse at its best!

Many more are left to rot in dark rooms without care, disbelieved and dismissed. It’s a living death. #pwme #millionsmissing #severeME 1/
unlabelledView post →When I was younger this movie was a fantastic example of this wonderful thing that I was finding I loved so much: The Cult Classic. As I got older, I realized that I'd actually call DEAD & BURIED one of the best horror movies of the 80s – which is saying something indeed, but the flick backs me up.

Once you know where it's going, you realize the structural magic trick the movie is pulling. "Buried guns" all over the place in what may be my favorite film of 2026

unlabelledView post →Books to Films 📚=🎞️ Dead & Buried (1980) by Chelsea Quinn Yarbro is the novelization of the film (1981). The film leans heavily into visual atmospherics as the book elevates the sheriff's wife as a POV. A shift away from the book's thriller mode puts the film into gore horror. 🪦🧟♀️😱 #booksky #filmsky

unlabelledView post →Iron Lung I knew this was 'the Markiplier movie', but didn't realise he was -THE- central character in a mostly one-man story (like Buried, etc). I don't think he has the range to pull it off unfortunately, but he was okay! The film was a little hard to follow and far too long, but completely fine.

unlabelledView post →#Iwatched #Buried (2010), a claustrophobic and ultimately depressing film that would have been better as an audio drama without #RyanReynolds. But then most people would have never heard of it. Not that Reynolds was bad, but his star face doesn't exactly help suspension of disbelief. And there's very little else to see.
unlabelledView post →'Buried' mostly delivers, the ending is what makes me definitively say that I had a positive time. The film does build tension nicely, it feels claustrophobic without a doubt. It is also paced competently, impressively so given its one location setting (credit to Ryan Reynolds). The only criticism I hold is that the film makes the lead character kinda unlikeable early on, which really shouldn't be the case given it ought to be a tap-in to make you care for Paul Conroy given the plot's nature.…
positive · AI labelView post →Despite the fact that there are quite a few plot holes in this quite tautly put together drama, Ryan Reynolds might actually have turned in one of the best performances of his career, here. Perhaps that's because he awakens to find he's been buried in a big wooden box with only an hip flask, torch and his phone. He's been in Iraq driving for an American truck company when it was attacked and he's now the subject of a $5millions ransom demand. Over the next ninety minutes he has to use the phone…
