DVD Reviews of Buried Alive
DVD Review: Buried Alive? Yeah, It Felt Like That At Times Watching This...
Summary: 2 Stars
First off lemme make clear this is NOT the 1990 film starring Tim Matheson & Jennifer Jason Leigh or is it Sony's 2007 misuse of the title either. This is Dimension Extreme's 2006 Buried Alive Unrated that spouts above the title starring (starring? He's in just three scenes!) Tobin Bell from Saw. But like those other films with the same name, you yourself might feel a little underground when watching this movie too.
Take a group of six college kids: two cousins, the girl cousin's boyfriend, the boy cousin's nerdy computer friend, and two fraternity-pledging bimbos off on an adventure to stay one night in the cousin's great-great grandparents home where many years ago ole grandpa offed his first Indian wife over gold found on the grounds. Unfortunately though for that family tree, now the ghostly spirit of that first wife wants to kill any member of that bloodline and is just awaiting them to come on down to the ranch for a visit. Along the way the group runs into the groundkeeper (played by Bell, who's acting is still top-notch and deserves better than this), and figures out that he's not the only one looking for all that lost gold that started a number of murders on the property years ago. Eventually strange things start happening, axes go flying, and we get a history lesson into ancient Indian beliefs and curses.
Directed by legendary special effectsman Robert Kurtzman (who's resume is a mile long with Horror highlights like Evil Dead 2, Phantasm 2, Bride Of Re-Animator, Halloween 5, the impressive list goes on and on) you'd figure after all this time making Horror films would be a piece of bloody cake. However, it's awfully surprising the lack of gore within this story. Don't get me wrong, the few scenes that have it (all practical:aka rubber) are quite impressive, but they're too quick and not enough. In fact, this movie outside of one early shot really doesn't get the frights started till almost the hour and ten minute mark! However, Kurtzman's visuals are nice with desert backgrounds, full up-high shots, and creepy house views, but the story is more like a ghost thriller than a typical Horror film, like the script was from the 70's or something. Also for a major studio title, to be completely bare-boned other than a few start-up previews doesn't help the overall purchase either. Might be worth a rent for seeing an older "female" slasher in this usual male-driven genre, not to mention a couple of cute nudity set-up's, but overall for a guy with a resume like Kurtzman's, he really should have came up with something more exciting and to the bloody point than this.
(RedSabbath Rating:6.5/10)
