After having watched, "Frozen", I was almost hesitant to sit through another minimal location/minimal casting/minimal title thriller... but I'm glad I did. Paul wakes up to find himself buried alive in a coffin. All he has is a Zippo lighter, and a Blackberry phone. As time and air runs out, he maintain his sanity, and deal with the demands of those that placed him there... otherwise the coffin will be his final resting place... Director Rodrigo Cortes filmed "Buried" in seventeen days, and cites Alfred Hitchcock as a major influence on the film. I enjoy watching single location horror/thriller movies because I'm always interested in seeing how the director will handle it. It's not easy making a single location constantly interesting, but director Rodrigo Cortes manages to do so with the simple coffin in this movie. He uses interesting camera angles, lighting styles, and even darkness to break up what could be a very monotonous looking location
