“Itu0026#39;s a bit hard to review this special movie. You canu0026#39;t go into special effects because there were non. You canu0026#39;t say anything about the cast because itu0026#39;s just one person you see. And the set is simple too, just a coffin. Yes, indeed, it all takes place in a coffin. So thatu0026#39;s already tricky to watch because I know a lot of people who didnu0026#39;t liked it because there was nothing to see or watch and I must agree with them. It takes indeed almost an hour before the suspense comes in. The first hour you will learn everything about the character, perfectly played by Ryan Reynolds. But itu0026#39;s all done on phone. Of course, being buried you canu0026#39;t do anything else than phone but for me it was a bit too long, an hour as I said. But from then on it goes faster and things go from worse to terribly wrong. The ending was a surprise for me. I wonu0026#39;t spoil it just watch it. Still, I wonu0026#39;t state it as a horror either a suspense or thriller. But you have to experience the coffin setting to sit it through. Simple story, excellent camera tricks.”
