nope, no knife guys. its just a man in a coffin with a lighther and a cell phone: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1462758/

Paul is a U.S. contractor working in Iraq. After an attack by a group of Iraqis he wakes to find he is buried alive inside a coffin. With only a lighter and a cell phone it's a race against time to escape this claustrophobic death trap.

QUOTE
Sundance describes the 94-minute film as follows:

Paul Conroy (Ryan Reynolds) is a U.S. citizen working as a contract driver in Iraq. After a swift and sudden attack on his convoy, he awakens to find himself buried alive inside a coffin with nothing more than a lighter, a cell phone, and little memory of how he ended up there. Faced with limited oxygen and unlimited panic, Paul finds himself in a tension-filled race against time to escape this claustrophobic deathtrap before it’s too late. If the sheer logistics of this premise are enough to make your head hurt, rest assured that director Rodrigo Cortés tackles these issues with relative ease, aided a great deal by a superbly convincing performance by Reynolds, the lone onscreen actor in the film. The result is a gripping and suspenseful thriller that will leave you gasping for air until the very end.

Apparently Paul is in a “death race against time” and only has 90 minutes to escape before he runs out of oxygen.

Rodrigo Cortes‘ Buried will premiere at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival in the Park City at Midnight category, one of eight films selected from over 3724 titles from all over the world.

maybe I'm stupid, but why would someone bury another person with a handphone, candle and knife? does that even make sense?

intresting isnt it, no ?
you'll never know. so many crazy things happening in the world today.
but as for the movie, we'll just have to wait and see why the person chose to do so by burying a man with a lighther and a cell phone.

Too many gadget for him already. Remember, The Bride in Kill Bill can break and come out from the coffin with just bare hands.

Just watched Buried special screening at Cineleisure just now.

Yes ,the whole movie is just in the coffin.Thats 90 mins to be exact.

How is the movie? For me,i feel it is one of the worst movie this year.

After i came out from the hall,i felt like wanna vomit and felt like I am buried 6 feet under.

Luckily it was free,so dint bother too much.

But damn was it a boring movie.Not worth watching at all

Ohyea,this movie has no flashbacks,no replays,no nothing.

All it has is RR in a wooden coffin with a lighter,a torchlight,phone,some light sticks,a can of alcohol,a pencil for 90 mins! Thats about it.Ohyea and another something,but this I shall let you guys watch to find out what it is.

Bet nobody can guess what it is.hahahaha..

4/10 for me.
