... View MoreThis is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
... View MoreEach character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
... View MoreJack Samms comes home after a routine day and finds an intruder in his house who calls himself " Trick " who shows him an event on a laptop - Jack's wife and her lover are trapped , entombed in a coffin and Trick tells Jack that there is only enough air to last another 75 minutesThere's a good film in here somewhere but is destroyed by its own derivative nature for much of the running time . It's a psychological thriller rather than an out and out horror movie but you're constantly reminded of other better films . . Reading the premise I thought I'd be watching something along the lines of the ultra low budget minimalist cult classic BURIED which came out round about the same time but unlike that film COFFIN doesn't have faith in its premise and the vast majority of the action takes place above ground . Likewise the mind games Trick plays on Jack is similar to the SAW movies and DIRTY HARRY . One noticeable thing about the two victims trapped in the coffin is that the mis-en-scene is wrong . Despite there being water leaking in to the coffin there is also sunlight visible , a fact noticed by Jack when he looks on the laptop and this foreshadows the ending which thankfully isn't leftfield and if it had a better director and production values would have made a nifty mainstream thriller
... View MorePerfect example to trick the unknown buyers of flicks. Buried (2010) was a must see, so they tried to copy the title, face it, coffin has a lot to do with buried. On the other hand the sleeve also looks very closely to Buried. But the story is something completely different. We do have two people who are buried in a coffin but there's more going on. It looked promising with the masked villain but once he changed his hood for shades it became ridiculous. And the acting wasn't worth watching too. Still if you do like thrillers with a plot change then you may like it but it did have an overall low budget look. I just wasn't involved into the characters. No suspense at all just sitting there and thinking at the end, okay but nothing special. I could have known it, it was here already on the sale shelves when it came out.Gore 0/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 0/5 Story 3/5 Comedy 0/5
... View MoreNice little thriller with a great twist that you are not expecting. Well done for a small, low budget film.You might get a little lost in the plot over one particular point but that happens in all kinds of thrillers or mysteries. But it is nothing to make the experience unfulfilling. Patrick Barnitt does a great job in his first starring role and has a great future ahead of him. Sorbo is convincing when he is on screen as is most of the cast. Good production value considering how little this film was made for.Barnitt and Alonzo have to carry the story along and they do so with skill. Really impressed with Barnitt's performance.
... View MoreThe first thing to say was the acting was terrible, particularly the main bad guy and the woman in the coffin. I know some of it was down to the direction but anybody who makes Sarbo look like a true thespian must be bad. The story is all over the place and very badly filmed. If they truly spent £600,000 on this I would love to know what that was on, it feels and looks like a very cheap movie.The main bad guy was so camp I was going to call him "hi de hi" but I love that show. The plot holes in the story would have me calling it Camenmbert - very cheesy.. Don't waste your money, if you have to see it wait until it's on a 12 o'clock showing on a TV channel that has no budget. For all my criticism I have seen worse.
