Watch Buried Alive For Free

Highly Overrated But Still Good

Fantastic!

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

Teen slasher alert, repeat, teen slasher alert. This movie starts out innocent enough – college students are on their way to some much needed R&R and what better way than to spend it at a haunted mansion. They fit the moniker of students and teenagers found in a teen slasher – we know where this is going – a nerd has been thrown into the mix. But before the movie can even get to the gore scenes, it already has haunting visions hitting the characters. While not necessarily scary, don't let that fool you – these scenes are just a precursor of things meant to come. The guy from 'Saw' also makes an appearance as a lecherous old man that bumbles around in search of some fun. The mandatory makeout scenes is here, as is nudity, and a few scenes showing off the curves of the girls. If this is too much of a gender stereotype, a few of the guys get the girls hitting on them and otherwise fooling around. This is all just to fit the moniker though, there's an old legend that the house they are at is cursed. It's only a matter of time before the slashing begins. Be warned, there is gore and as usual, if you fall for any of these characters, most of them are going to die.Originally posted to Orion Age (http://www.orionphysics.com/?p=2475)

After a big Brazilian channel showed this movie and many people liked it, I decided to give it a chance. From it's title I imagined it would be a movie with a guy agonizing after being buried alive, in the style of 2010's "Buried". Fortunately, Clint being buried alive is just a detail and a short scene-- thank god. Clint's wife tries to kill him to have his money-- which would be a homicide qualified by a vile reason in Brazilian's law. Story is pretty much vindictive, since the main character (Clint) ends the movie burying her wife alive, just like she did to him. Although it looks pretty evil in a first moment, if you watch the movie you'll feel he did just the right thing. Joanna deserved that. "Buried Alive" doesn't have anything special, but writing, directing and acting are professional enough to make this whole picture entertaining, convincing and with a "happy" ending. Frank Darabont's debut couldn't be any better, and I have to confess I find this picture more believable and interesting than "Shawshank Redemption"-- yes, I have such weird taste. To sum it up, "Buried Alive" is a good low-budget movie that you will probably enjoy if you prefer realistic stories to Hollywood clichés.

Clint (Tim Matheson) is a successful businessman living with his wife Joanna (Jennifer Jason Leigh) in small town USA. However Joanna is not so happy and starts an affair with her Doctor, Cortland Van Owen (William Athertone). They poison Clint and start to sell up and move away rich. However Glen rises from his grave and begins to plot his revenge.This TV movie is most notable for it's director - Shawshank Redemption's Frank Darabont. Not exactly lofty beginnings but he does manage to bring an air of tension to the proceedings. The film is quite dark in tone and is reasonably tense. However the plot is a bit too ambitious - it relies too much on unlikely events to move the plot along and the final half-hour is a little too farfetched to be accepted easily. However it is quite clever the way Clint takes his revenge on the plotting duo of his wife and her lover.Matheson is actually quite good here as Clint and brings an air of menace to his resurrected character. Leigh is nearly always good but falls into playing the screaming wife for most of the film. Athertone plays the creepy doctor but makes him too obviously guilty - it's partly the scripts fault but also Athertone can't help but play a creepy character (Die Hard 1 & 2).This is not as bad as I expected. It is quite clever and tense for the majority. But it is what it is - and it is a cheap TV thriller. The two leads are good but it's a bit too far fetched to totally suck you into believing it. Although if you can get carried away by the story then you'll probably enjoy it.

*This contains spoilers*This is one truly great suspense movie. Basically, the story surrounds a couple, Joanna (Jennifer Jason Leigh), and Clint (Tim Matheson) who have moved to the country to start a new life away from the city. Joanna begins expecting a child and sees a doctor, Courtland, who is only interested in scamming Joanna out of the whole fortune Clint's carpentry business is worth. Joanna is not happy being with Clint in the country and wants out of her life. Courtland tells Joanna that he plans to build a clinic in Beverly Hills and says "this is a cash machine just waiting for us to plug into it". The only way to get the money was with Clint's business. Being a doctor, he devises a plan with Joanna to kill Clint by poisoning him so Joanna could sell his business and get the million and a half dollar fortune. Courtland's plan was almost fool-proof, except for one thing; Joanna's dead husband, only, he wasn't dead. Clint couldn't have thought up a better plan to take revenge out on his wife and the doctor. This movie is definitely worth seeing. The ending is unlike anything anybody could have ever expected. The plot is basic and straight forward, with a spectacular performance played by the actors, and a brilliantly written script. This movie is a good example of how greed can completely poison somebody's mind and ruin the lives of other people. Joanna and Courtland definitely deserved the torment they received by Clint's revenge for trying to kill him and ruining his life forever after. Another great movie which is similar to this is "Mortal Thoughts" (1990). Movie rating: 10 out of 10
