Entombed

This is a nice little thriller that is well done in terms of production value and quality! As a low budget horror/thriller, this movie outdoes the poor lighting, sloppy camerawork, cheap sets and other things that take you out of the movie and usually make such movies unwatchable. Along with that, the acting is really strong (weak acting being another common thread in low budget films). The quality acting helped me stay engaged with the characters and story. I'm usually able to 'keep my distance' with a movie, but I found myself really being disgusted by THE BAD GUY. And there is one nice twist in the story that I didn't see coming. I enjoy being surprised in a good way.

I wanted a bit more action and threatening tone than this movie had, but it's definitely worth the watch.

Seamus is on a run from zombies when he finds an underground shelter. There are two people there already, Konrad and Mila. Seamus is thankful for the shelter but soon starts to wonder if he can trust everything Konrad has said to him.

Many will think of 10 Cloverfield Lane (2016) when watching this film but it made me think just as much about "The World, the Flesh and the Devil" (1959), "The Quiet Earth" (1985) and "Z for Zachariah" (2015). All films with two men and one woman at the end of the world.

As in all good zombie films we learn that humans are the real monsters. The zombies only show us what lies beneath.

What impressed me the most about this film is the cinematography. This is a low budget film but it looks like a million dollars. The lighting is stunning and the frame composition is beautiful!

The actors do a good job, especially considering that they play in English which is not their native language.

If you are looking for action then this might not be for you but if you like claustrophobic mediation on the nature of evil then this might be your cup of tea.

Exciting story and well made. For a low budget film this is quality.

To quote from an overly enthusiastic (and misguided) reviewer: "Fuuuukin" terrible flick. Tired of unbelievably bad American (and English) horror movies, I turned to foreign films, hoping they would have something better to offer. My hopes were dashed with this. Note that the top 3 rave reviews (scoring the flick a 10, 9 and 8) are by reviewers who have only reviewed this one flick. They are obviously either trying to pump up the score, or have only seen this one flick. Fortunately, the writer-director of this fail has a very limited output. Avoid.

I saw this on the FB FLIC site and decided to give it a watch. Director and cast do a lot with minimal settings , virtually no SFX, and a small(ish) budget. From the start, you get to know who's who and what they want. Pacing is kept tight and the story moves forward quickly without any exposition needed. It wound up going where I wasn't initially expecting which was refreshing. The ending was a bit of a bummer as I wanted to see something else but all in all a good watch.
