Lionsgate will release the thriller on DVD and Blu-ray/DVD combo pack on January 18th. The cover art can be seen to the right. The Blu-ray will contain the lone extra: a making-of featurette entitled Unearthing Buried.
The film is written by Chris Sparling and directed by Rodrigo Cortés. It was shot in Barcelona, and it takes place almost entirely inside of a coffin. Here’s the plot:
Paul Conroy isn’t ready to die. But when he wakes up 6 feet underground with no idea of who put him there or why, life for the truck driver and family man instantly becomes a hellish struggle for survival. Buried with only a cell phone and a lighter, his contact with the outside world and ability to piece together clues that could help him discover his location are maddeningly limited. Poor reception, a rapidly draining battery , and a dwindling oxygen supply become his worst enemies in a tightly confined race against time- fighting panic, despair and delirium, Paul has only 90 minutes to be rescued before his worst nightmare comes true.
The movie had a couple of cool posters so it’s disappointing they settled for a giant image of Ryan Reynolds (THE AMITYVILLE HORROR) for the cover, although it still looks better than a lot of discs to hit shelves.
