Malaysian public movie goers list an average score of 2/5 or for Buried based on Yahoo Movies Malaysia.

While on IMDb, the average score based on the International public movie goer is 7.8/10 and on Metacritic is 8.0/10.

Why is there such a huge difference?? :S

Because Malaysians don't know how to watch a movie. They're too busy talking amongst themselves, talking on the phones, texting, offer live commentary whether other audiences like it or not, treating the theater like a coffee shop or a playground, letting their kids running around, than actually trying to understand the plot of a film. I hate to say it, but it was the rudest and least considerate audiences I've ever encounter. The only reason I didn't get bothered when I watch Buried at a theater here is because I have to pick a late night showing on a Sunday at a theater at a crime-infested area ON PURPOSE just to make sure not a lot of audiences would show up. Yeah, basically I have to risk my life to make sure I have a half decent theater viewing experience. LOL. Even then, there was still a couple there talking thru out although they're just whispering so I just thank God it could have been way worse.

I don't get it, if you like talking so much, why not talk somewhere else. You don't have to pay 9 bucks for it...

The funniest thing I've seen is that the audiences CAN'T wait to make some noise if they figure out ONE plotpoint, as if they won a prize or something, like they're the smartest person on the room. Oh yeah, you finally figure out that one thing called PLOT DEVELOPMENT that an average moviegoer should have known, good for you. You want a cookie or something? This applies to almost every film I seen at a theater here, well, except Inception of course... 'cause when I walked out of the Inception's showing, I overheard something like "What is the totem for?" and "Saito is Leo's father, right?" "Why did the van fall in the water?" It dawn on me people here don't go to movies to understand stories etc... They go to movies to see pretty images running thru the screen while letting the background music/noise playing over it. No wonder everyone is talking in the theater... because it really doesn't matter what the dialogue or narration is... Plain and simple, They don't respect art and films. More importantly, they don't respect their own intelligence.
