This film being called scary can only apply to people who are claustrophobic. Well, i don't think you need to be clinically claustrophobic to have a general fear of being buried alive.

Ryan Reynolds stars in this bizarre movie that I initially decided to not watch because I had a lot to do at the time. When I did finally decide to watch it, i have to say that I needed to take breaks, and the film still haunts me periodically to this day.

I'm not going to spoil the movie by trying to explain how it is that Paul Conroy (Reynolds) ended up in this predicament but as is explained in the trailer he is a civilian contractor who is working in war-torn Iraq. He wakes up in the coffin and has no idea why. He has a few items in there with him and is contacted on his phone by the people who put him there. That's it! That's all you get. You will have to watch the film to find out more.

What makes this film so amazing is that very little of the movie takes place anywhere outside of the box, but yet the film remains captivating for the full time. Despite the fact that this movie is officially categorized as a "psychological thriller," to me it is a horror film as it encapsulates (pun intended) what i consider to be the worst possible way to die.

This movie was nominated for a bunch of awards and won a few of them. It also made back 10x its operating budget.

I can't imagine anyone watching this and not at least feeling uneasy. For me it was difficult to watch at all and it makes me feel a touch nauseous just thinking about it.
