What is your worst fear? Are you afraid of the dark? Fear of heights? Perhaps even of being buried alive? People are afraid of the dark because the most valuable sense they have is sight! Sight is what helps us connect with the world around us, so having a phobia of losing sight is pretty understandable. Of course, a fear of heights is also commonplace: skyscrapers, mountains, roller coasters, feeble ropes. But really, of all phobias, being buried alive six feet underground in a foreign country is probably the most traumatizing.

“I need one million dollars by nine o’clock tonight or I’ll be left to die in this coffin!” Ryan Reynold’s character Paul Conroy explains in the movie Buried. This movie, for me, was one of the most exciting movies I’ve ever seen and seeing myself in that situation is unimaginable! The movie’s main focus is about a civilian, Paul, who as a truck driver, was mistaken to be a solider fighting in Iran. Because of this, he ends up in the most disturbing place imaginable: a coffin.
The reviews for this movie are mixed with different opinions; most people liked it, yet some aren’t too fond of it. But a movie like this one can’t bore you at all! It’s mostly all sound that you need to focus on when you see this movie. The only light sources are a phone, two glow sticks, a lighter, and a flashlight. I personally loved Buried because it was one of those movies that I didn’t lose interest in, and would most definitely watch again.
