Buried Ratings & Reviews
- Dawn BrownOctober 6, 2025I have tried to watch this half a dozen times and I finally got all the way through it. Not because it’s bad, it’s good, but my claustrophobia acts up SO MUCH because 95% of this is shown from inside a buried coffin sized wooden box so OMFG I had to pause it so many times just to calm my brain down! Loved it though! And Ryan Reynolds does awesome. 👏
- "THE MOVIE FANATIC"January 21, 2026Buried in my opinion is Ryan Reynolds most underrated film! While it may not have that rewatch value about it, because of how sad and highly disturbing it is, but it's a film that will be burned into your brain, the 1st and only time that you watch it anyway. This is a one of the best, one time watch movies that I've ever seen
- ርልዪረJanuary 3, 2026When this movie started and the opening credits began, it was in parallel with Hitchcock movies, almost a replica of the Psycho opening sequence. It was fairly obvious that the director has been inspired by the Master of Macabre. I was intrigued for the entire 90 minutes of the movie, and although there were a couple of scenes that I was unsure about, it was still well worth watching. Ryan Reynolds is believable as a man buried alive in a coffin, and you can really feel the emotions he experiences during the movie. There is some wonderful conversations he has on the phone, in particular when he speaks to his mother. Just as you think that nothing more can happen, a surprise twist occurs which makes you want to stay and see if he will or will not survive. The ending was a surprise to me. Like Phone Booth and Man On A Ledge, both I have only seen recently, I had to watch this to it's full conclusion, and I did enjoy it.
