Blucher One of the worst movies I've ever seen

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

GL84 Journeying to a secluded house, a group of friends head into the desert as part of a sorority initiation activity but awaken the murderous spirit of an ancestor that is seeking out a way of revenge against her treatment and tries to stop their rampage before they're all killed off.On the whole this one wasn't that bad at all. One of it's better features here is the film's rather nice and enjoyable plot as once it gets going, it has a ton of good stuff to it. This one starts off rather nicely here with the group heading out into the desert and arriving at the house which features the start of the action as those early haunting scenes with the ghost appearing along the highway being quite creepy leading into the scenes of them around the house. As this leads nicely into exploring the house as well as their initiation tactics there's quite some fun times here which leads nicely into the later half which has some fantastic scenes here when the ghost really starts getting involved in the action with some solid stalking and haunting scenes. The first time it appears in the bedroom is quite a nice stalking scene, the surprise attack on the one friend in the middle of the basement and the big surprise ambush on them at the house which is where this one becomes really enjoyable with the build-up to the creature coming out of the darkness even though they don't realize the ghost is the cause and the fun chaos that results from the discovery of the bodies and the race to get out which is all classic slasher film fun. Filled with some fun supernatural-themed action to come from the big battle at the end and some great work tying in the legend of the ghost's ancestors to the whole revenge plot involved here, that becomes quite enjoyable as well detailing all the nice action to come from this part of the film. Along with the nice gore effects and plentiful nudity there's some fun to be had here, though it does have some some minor issues with it. The biggest one is that the film is still highly watchable but is rather uneven in the pacing as in order to deal with such a flimsy plot, more time than what is usually the case is spent on the setup of the group at the house and how they're interacting with each other, so this one has a long time without a whole lot of ghostly dealings. Despite how much fun they are watching the group there, this one is quite uneven in how it details it's ghostly actions with so much of it occurring in the last half that there's a rather uneven split here and it can feel quite plodding at times. As well, some of that here is due to the obvious stunt- casting of the ranch-hand with them who has no business being there, offers nothing during the film and serves no purpose other than to get the name into the credits so taking his time out would've probably made the film run along a little faster. Overall there's some good stuff here, but it does take awhile to get there.Rated R: Graphic Language, Graphic Violence and Full Nudity.

kieronboote An interesting premise relating to an ancient family curse is thrown away in favour of the same old tired hazing/frat stuff. The girls are lively, especially Lindsey Scott who is the perfect scream queen but who surprisingly doesn't seem to have worked since this movie. Perhaps she's found religion? Well shot but badly let down by the two male leads. In particular Terence Jay who looks like the bits left over from Ben Stiller's plastic surgery. He also has a really embarrassing comb over! The scene where he's doing the twitchy acting with the torch would be amusing in a Larry Blamire movie but here it's just ridiculous. A bigger cast and more victims, a nastier edge and a different male lead and who knows this could have been quite decent. At least I quite enjoyed the end.

Dragoneyed363 Gore, drugs, sex, nudity, teens, and bad dialogue; perfect ingredients for a B-movie; Buried Alive has them all. I had my doubts when the film first started off, as would anyone with this. About the first 20 minutes or so, you really could not care less about the film or about the characters. Then, things start get a little bit more entertaining and interesting, as watchable as they could be. Characters who you want to die start dying, for example, Phil was one of the most annoying characters ever, and I really hated Danny and Julie and actually got a little smile when they were slaughtered, and characters who you want to live survive, which I actually wanted Laura to be the only character that lived, no joke, which shocked me and totally blew my world when it ended, because I was so surprised. She's really the only interesting and good character that deserves any love, and movie survivors never turn out how I want them to be, so I enjoyed that. The plot left a lot unsaid and had a few holes, but overall not bad at all for a B-movie. The suspense scenes were actually very well done, such as the ones around the end, and they keep your eyes locked on the screen. Overall, the first 20 minutes suck, and you don't get a real performance out of anyone except Tobin Bell and Erin Reese which they both gave great ones. As a B-movie, it's pretty awesome, and I enjoyed watching it. I will say the rating is a little unfair, but I can see why it would have so many people who hate it, but yet I'm a person who can enjoy these types of movies for what they are and they have always had a small place in my heart, whether they are so bad it's good or just all around okay for any film in general. All in all, it's just to watch for a good time, and no one should have been expecting anything fantastic, or vice versa, and that's they key in appreciating it for what it is.

Anthony Pittore III (Shattered_Wake) Synopsis: A group of college kids at an abandoned house pull a prank that sets loose a murderous ghost.Review: There's something strange, these days and in the past, that often happens to stars of major horror films. After their success, even if their fame is not at an end, they will star in random paycheck movies simply because they're asked, regardless of the quality of the film. Buried Alive is that paycheck for Saw-series star Tobin Bell (Jigsaw). When it comes to a straight-to-video slasher film like this (especially one marketed by the usually trustworthy Dimension Extreme), there are certain things horror fans have come to expect: Heavy gore, attractive women (who, most often, take off their clothes), and, at the very least, some entertainment. Unfortunately, even on as 'unrated,' the film does not deliver on the blood & guts. There is some violence, but not enough, and the result of the violence doesn't have enough splatter. The women are attractive, so they did deliver to us the eye candy. And, as far as entertainment and enjoyment go, well. . . it varied. At some points, the film is a good time and worth a few laughs. Other times, however, the film turns into a bit of a slow-drag bore (especially during the sorority stuff). From the plot to the effects, there's nothing here that hasn't been seen dozens of times before, so if you're in need of some predictability with a bit of enjoyability, you might want to check this out. . . but, you can do a whole lot better.Final verdict: 4/10.-AP3-
