buried (rodrigo cortés)

i never expected this to be so good! let's start saying it's not a horror movie, but an action-drama in a box. once you accept this, the film works really well. i have to admit that, after the first 20 minutes, i thought: 'how the hell are they going to maintain this for another hour?' but bloody hell they did! i'd never have thought this would be so action packed! actually, the snake scene might be a bet too much, but i forgive them. and the actual final scene? the best ending the story could have. i was thinking they might ruin it at the end, but no, they did what they had to do. i never knew about the 'spanish link' with the funding and crew, but,actually, as mr thoumire said: "once you think about it, they will never get the americans to fund something like this!".

Rating 9/10
