By far the worst movie in history

And I'm easy to please when it comes to movies.

Seriously, this film doesn't even deserve the 3.6/10 it has on IMDb.

First of all, it shamelessly steals the concept of a person, in this film two people, buried under the ground in a coffin from "Buried".
Where "Buried" was an excellent movie that played exclusively inside the coffin with one guy on screen adding a claustrophobic feeling to the experience you get as a viewer, this film jumps from the coffin to the guy whos behind it and the husband of the woman inside the coffin.

So bye bye claustrophobic element. Fine, you can still make a decent movie with these elements. But then we come to the actual characters.
First of all: the bad guy who's behind it wearing a silly mask is using the most ridiculous voice ever. It's just laughable. And then the retarded laughing at the end of a sentence, please.. this feels like it's directed by a 5 year old.

The people inside the coffin are never anywhere interesting enough for me to care for them, on the contrary, the woman in particular was so annoying with her "OW MY GOOOOD" all the time, I just rolled my eyes every time she pronounced those words. OW MY GOOOD!! OW MY GAWD!! OW MAI GAAWDDD.. OW MY GOD WHAT A BAD MOVIE AND ACTORS!!!
Also her hysteric whining tone in her voice was just plain annoying and felt so fake.
Considering the twist and truth of the whole thing, it's pretty damn ironic but you'll realize that yourself after finishing this film

You know, you'd think the addition of Bruce Davison would make it all worthwhile, but it doesnt. He's by far the best actor in the cast, I absolutely loved him in Kingdom Hospital as "Doctor Stegman", but he just cant save the movie. For that his role is just not big enough.

I could go on about this but I'll save it. I never say "dont watch this film" to people, I believe they need to choose and see for themselves, but you're warned. This film stinks.

opinions are like *beep* has one AND all *beep* have opinions. FYI the script for COFFIN was written before Buried was announced.

That doesn't make it any less awful.

Spoiler Alert

Look Spencer Johnson,the movie was not great, the acting was okay but the movie lagged way to much and it was very hard to care at all for any of the characters.

The biggest plot hole was that Husband gave the money over to 'trick' after the husband already knocked 'trick' out and took the money with him in the vechile. The husband then goes to the beach and tries to find his wife but obviously he doesn't find her, next in the scenes where 'trick' is narrating we see the husband hand him a briefcase which we are to believe is full of money in broad daylight. If it's broad day light then HOURS have pasted since his wife told him that she had only mintues until she would drown, so why in the world would the husband give the money to 'trick' if she's already dead?
