Purely Joyful Movie!

One of my all time favorites.

good back-story, and good acting

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

BURIED ALIVE is directed by Robert Kurtzman and went straight-to-DVD and exclusively to your local Blockbuster store. No doubt a copy ended in a bargain bin when Blockbuster went belly-up and dismantled a lot of their stores. The troubled Zane(Terence Jay)has flunked out of school and is so down took himself off of his meds. Cousin Rene(Leah Rachel)is wanting to extend a sorority hazing by accepting Zane's offer of taking a road trip to an abandoned family home complete with old gold mine. Rene's boyfriend Danny(Steve Sandvoss)is joined by two sorority girls(Erin Reese and Lindsey Scott)and a nerdy friend(Germaine De Leon)of Zane's as the group heads out to be frightened and violated and more. Adding to the atmosphere is the grounds keeper Lester(Tobin Bell), a bit quirky and a true touch of scary. There is the rumor of a an ancient curse being guarded and carried out by a vengeful spirit. Some gruesome images as well as some nudity. Wonder why it went straight to video?

People are too hard on horror-movies. I liked this one. It has all the elements expected from a upper-B horror movie: Sudden chills, half-naked girls and even decent actors (Tobin Bell).The story is believable, the action is not bad... and the scary parts/gore is pretty well made.I don't see any reason for ditching this movie. I have seen it three times in 5-6 years and have enjoyed it every time. Of course it's not an Oscar winner, but for a semi-low-budget-horror-movie, it's pretty good!If you like this movie, I have recently seen another movie called "forget me not" which was a little similar, but awoke the same weird pleasure. But "Buried Alive" is a lot better.

Again and again I'm warning people not to fall for words on DVD covers like "starring Tobin Bell from Saw" or "it's gory". Even made by the director of Wishmaster, the ghost looks like the Wishmaster 20 years older, this is total crap. It's never frightening or scary. And nothing happens until the last 15 minutes. Tobin is in it, alright, but performs maybe 15 minutes in the movie, and is just a guy. The movie never really starts, it's more about belonging in the group and doing things to belong to the group. So here we go, of course it's the girls who have to do things like, dress yourself with one piece of clothing. Do I have to say more, one chooses only to wear her jeans the other to wear her boots. So naked they go, you think, even there it goes terrible wrong. The black haired one, Erin Lokitz, is running around naked but always covering her boobs. Men, if you know you have to do this and you don't want to do it don't take the role, you know what I mean. And look, I'm talking more about those part of the movie then the blood part. it's easy, it's all done in CGI, and CGI never is and never will be scary or gory. It could have done so beautifully, the storyline is there but next time, Kurtzman, do it in the old fashion way without CGI and if you are teasing with nudity do it full frontal as in MBV remake and Friday the 13th remake. Bury this movie, alive

Buried Alive Tobin Bell deserves an Oscar for best actor in this gripping horror film. Lester is not just any creepy gold digger who lives in the middle of the desert alone in his RV, but really tries to warn the dumb kids not to go into the creepy "sub-cellar". If only those dumb college kids would have listened to Lester and his third person warnings none of this would have ever happened.Phil plays his role to perfection and his stuttering goes almost unnoticed during his few but crucial lines. You can tell the other college kids not only look up to him but also fear him because his is allowed to go unquestioned on his routine 8 hour phone call.One scene I did not enjoy was where they clearly killed live innocent snakes in order for a cheap scare. I do not condone any Mike Vick behavior from film producers and they should be punished.I do not fully understand the cousin make-out scene right in front of the girls boyfriend. I mean I guess if I had a girlfriend I would let her make-out with her cousin too…….CUZ LESTER Ain't GOT NO CABLE!!
