Buried Alive (1990 TV Movie)
7/10
Revenge tale
15 November 2009
Warning: Spoilers
Pretty decent horror cum thriller from Frank Darabont, director of the critically acclaimed The Shawshank Redemption.

Way above average in terms of both direction and acting for a made for TV movie, with some genuinely disturbing ideas, and some pretty creepy scenes, this is a chiller of surprising quality.

The waking in the coffin scene is superb, as is the 'zombie' awakening sequence, and the last 20 minutes or so are excellent once the trap is set.

Decent performances from the lead guy, Tim Matheson and Jennifer Jason Leigh is as reliable as ever.

Check it out - it won't blow your mind but it certainly will entertain.
