Why so much hype?

A Disappointing Continuation

One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

The story line for Buried Alive II and the first version of Buried Alive was about the same. In the first part, Tim Matheson was known as Clint Goodman who has a very beautiful wife Jennifer Jason Leigh as Joanna Goodman. Jennifer Jason Leigh was not satisfied with her husband therefore, she killed him. This version is the same case. Stephen Caffrey is Randy Riskin and he had an unattractive wife Ally Sheedy as Laura Riskin. The obvious better choice is to have an affair with Tracey Needham as Roxanne.But, script writers have not destroys beautiful woman like Jennifer Jason Leigh and Tracey Needham. They can't seem to understand that attractive woman want something more and all men love to be with attractive woman.Tracey Needham's acting was extremely good.

*This contains spoilers*Buried Alive II is a half way decent sequel, but nothing close to saying it's a fantastic movie. What makes it a half way decent sequel is the fact that it picks up where the first one leaves off. Laura (Ally Sheedy) and Randy (Stephen Caffrey) have just inherited a large sum of money from the sheriff, Sam, from the original movie who had just passed away. Randy wanted to buy a new boat with the money and Laura didn't want to waste the whole inheritance on it. While at the same time, Randy was seeing Tracy (Tracy Needham). They come up with a plot to murder Laura by poisoning her with fish toxon. Randy would then be able to get his hands on Laura's money so that he would be able to buy the boat he wanted. Randy follows up with his plans and poisons Laura in a restaurant. Laura, of coarse, does not die, and after she wakes up from her coma, she takes her revenge out on Randy and Tracy.Though this is a decent sequel, it left a lot to be desired. In general, the acting by Clint and Laura was very well done; however, the acting by Randy and Tracy seemed very stale. In the first place, poisoning somebody in public doesn't seem like a very well thought out plot by the writers. They also could have found another way to prevent Laura from being embalmed instead of showing the fluid injection system going haywire, which seemed cheesy and fake. The scenes with Randy and Tracy at the end were rather funny. While Laura was sinking the boat Randy and Tracy was on, Randy says to Tracy "What would you like me to do, call 911?". Overall, this movie is worth seeing, but don't expect anything spectacular.Movie rating: 6 out of 10

Buried Alive 2 not only ruins itself but also ruins the story of the first part(Buried Alive).

...seeing the same movie twice? The first was good..the second a poor model of the first.
