Coffin

The plot: A psychopath puts Kevin Sorbo and his mistress in a coffin. They only have 70 minutes of air, and time is running out. In the meantime, the mistress's husband races to save them, though he's not entirely sure that he wants to.

Let's just get to the chase here: this is a limp Saw clone. Nothing I say will dissuade hardcore Kevin Sorbo or Saw fans from watching this, of course, but I feel that it's my duty to warn everyone else who's on the fence. Normally, low budget movies with poor acting don't bother me much (I'm a Troma fan), but this was laughably bad! The antagonist was so non-threatening, it was like he was played by Stephen Fry. He tried his best to be "a total pro", but it came across as being pathetic. I could see shades of Jigsaw and Heath Ledger's Joker, but it was like one of your hammy friends doing his best impression (which isn't very good), rather than a professional actor. The rest of the acting was pretty standard for a B movie, though Bruce Davison obviously stands out as a talented actor. Kevin Sorbo isn't bad, but his role is somewhat limited, being that he's trapped in the titular coffin. The directors turn up as cops investigating the case. Surprisingly, they're pretty decent actors. Can't really think of anything nice to say about their writing or directing, though.

I've seen worse, but this is still memorably bad.

If they'd cast a better actor for the antagonist, this might creep up to a 5/10, which isn't really all that much better, but he really ruins this movie. There isn't much violence, gore, nudity, or even profanity in this movie, which makes it perhaps the most curiously inhibited Saw clone that I've ever seen. Perhaps it was meant to be more of a generic thriller, then took on aspects of Saw? Who knows. Who cares. It's a bad movie, and I'm not going to sit here thinking about it.

Nice 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.

The film BURIED, in which Ryan Reynolds found himself suffocating to death inside a coffin for the entire running time, was itself a disappointment, so invariably this rip-off is even worse. Even though it stars B-movie favourite Kevin Sorbo, he of HERCULES: THE LEGENDARY JOURNEYS fame, this is dull beyond belief, ruined by a muddled story and a distinct lack of engaging incident throughout.

The storyline involves a boring protagonist who finds that his ex-wife and her lover have been buried alive in a coffin. Along the way, he's taunted by a masked villain who seems to have watched the SAW movies one too many times, and is tasked with paying a ransom demand, but it's all very uninteresting. The plot seems needlessly muddled in places and extremely dragged out in others.

The acting is poor. Patrick Barnitt is as solid as a block of wood as the hero and the villain is nothing more than an annoying kid. Kevin Sorbo is a fan favourite but is barely seen inside the murky coffin; perhaps he should have been the lead. How they roped old-timer Bruce Davison into this mess I don't know, as it's instantly forgettable.

Around 13 to 14.5 minutes a Woman is seen in just a bra and underpants and after she gets dressed cleavage can still be seen.

I'm pretty sure a group of 12 year old boys could make a better movie. The acting is laughably bad. The director(s) decision to keep these takes is simply criminal. One of the worst movies I've seen on Prime.
