    Compared to many Slashers I've seen lately, and that's quite a lot, this was pretty good. From the same director as the Wishmaster and starring Tobin Bell of the Saw films. It is a bit slow building up to the kills, but when they come they are quite gory and different to the norm... read more. A bunch of uni friends head out to one of the kids big house out in the desert looked after by the creepy caretaker. The house has a dark history involving a family curse, gold and murder. Good production value and a decent cast raise this above most straight to DVD slashers.

    Again another horror that is expected to be rubbish which doesnt disappoint i haven a clu as to why its called buried alive when they get killed of one by one and two are only buried alive towards the very end so its a pretty typical pointless horror

    it can't quite deliver all the gruesome goods.

    Surprisingly bland and cliche for someone who's been in the business as long as director/FX genius Robert Kurtzman has. A few decent gory moments but even they are not worth sitting through.

    Wow...that was, pretty bad. As I start this 95 minute film, Nothing is happening. Nothing. A few scary scenes of them seeing this old lady here and there, but that's about it. The ending, the last 10 mintes of the movie (not including credits) at the time of 85 mins, the old lady... read more kills everybody. That's it. No action, at all, until the last 10 minutes. The rest had nothing to do with the film. And just because it has Tobin Bell, one of the greatest horror movie actors in the world, in it, doesn't mean it's going to be a good movie. He's in it for a good 10 minutes. And plus his role didn't even make sense, he was just some random guy. The filmmakers just wanted people to watch their movie, all because Tobin Bell was in it. Anyways, the story was pretty good actually, and they also did pretty good making the old lady look scary enough. That's the only good thing about it. The acting was bad, the special effects sucked. There you go. Skip to next review.

    A thin story that ends up wasting time until the last 20 minutes. Basically the film is just watching the stupid ass characters do stupid ass things, and you don't even want the killer to kill them off, because the killer is lamer than the characters and when the kill does happen... read more it's obviously CGed and looks bad.
    Let's not forget the plot holes.

    Buried Alive was unoriginal and extreamly slow paced. Ok now it might sound like I'm doging this movie and I kinda am, but it wasnt all bad. Had pretty good acting and resonable effects. At least for a straight to DVD B rate movie. Now when I say it was slow paced I meen it. You ... read moreget one death 30 minutes in and the next one isn't until 45 minutes later. And on top of that the ending sucked. So even if for some reson that I will never understand you enjoyed the movie. The ending will totally blow it for you. So if you want to blow 2 hours of your day then this is the movie for you. But I would'nt recomend going in with high hopes.

    Ok. But not great. Barely good.

    It would be better if I was either drunk or high.

    Interesting story, but not much too it.

    This isn't the right one the name is called Buried Alive Evil Has Awaken. Kick Ass show But not scary to me!!! Check it out!!!! I dare you

    It was ok its more sexual then scary. If they were going for scary it doesnt hold that appeal but if they were going for a little scare and some porn they hit the nail in the coffin.

Aside from the admittedly effective casting of Saw's Tobin Bell as a crazy old coot, Buried Alive is conspicuously lacking in overtly positive elements... Full Review
