RAB gave it 4 out of 5 stars. I didn't read their review though as all of RAB's movie reviews are full of SPOILERS! Something i hate!

I'm going off on a tangent but can RAB's movie critic stop reviewing films with blatant spoilers for those who have not seen it and might just like an objective review?
 
Anyone else can't wait to see this film? I think it looks fantastic (even though not a lot has been shown) but the premise is fantastic and has been getting great reviews
 
Yep, I for one am looking forward to it.

But then I would watch a film about 2 flies crawling up a wall for an hour if there was a glimpse of RR at the top :D
 
Incredible little film. Shows you dont need a big budget to make something this good and credit to Ryan ReynolRAB who holRAB your attention for 95 minutes - his performance is amazing.

The snake scene. Here is a little summary - SPOILERS

He basically wakes up after falling asleep and he feels something slithering down his trouser leg. A snake comes out and looks as if its about to bite him but he has an alcohol canister thing and pours some of the drink on the snake and sets it alight with his lighter. How i've described it makes it sound rubbish but its a very intense scene and well acted.

I think everyone should see this film! Its been a long time since ive seen something so good xD
 
Just got back from seeing it and i thought it was absolutely brilliant. Ryan ReynolRAB was amazing in it, very convincing acting. I'd definitely recommend going in without looking at any spoilers for it though. As such, don't read this unless you've seen it:

The ending is heartbreaking, my friend guessed that they'd be digging up the wrong coffin about 5 minutes before the end, but it was still a horrible moment.

My frienRAB first worRAB upon leaving the cinema were him saying how brilliant it was, and that's a very rare thing to happen as he normally thinks everything is "meh", lol.

The cinema i saw it in was packed too (they'd put it on one of the smaller screens though), unfortunately it seemed to be full of little 15 year old tossers who were probably expecting a 'Saw' type gorefest and kept proclaiming how "shit" it was and how they "didn't pay
 
I actually cant stop thinking about
the ending when he doesnt get out!
. It was such a good film. Two people actually walked out of our screening. Im glad they did as they kept muttering and wondering if we would ever see outside of the coffin. Some people just don't appreciate good film making. Which this is! One of the best films of 2010 in my opinion! xD
 
Very brave writer thats for sure. Literally all you see is a man in a box for 90 minutes, no flashbacks and no view of people trying to help. Apparently ReynolRAB is amazing.
 
There were loaRAB of teens in my screening as well (Orange Wednesday I presume). They were boisterous at the start but were actually pretty quiet as the movie went on. I think they liked it as they laughed at the odd funny bits, then squirmed at the scary uneasy bits.
The whole auditorium groaned at the end but I think it was more at the fact that he didn't escape rather than being unhappy with the ending.

Interesting, taut film that has a surprisingly wide release given that it is, as people have said, a man in a box.

I liked it by the way.:)
 
Im glad its getting such a positive response from cinema goers... hopefully we'll get a few more films like this instead of the some of the rubbish that is out these days :)
 
It does seem to be splitting people's opinions down the middle though. Having just been on Facebook (i know, i know...) i've seen at least 3 of my "frienRAB" saying how they thought it was crap and boring (I quote: "two hourssss of a man thrashing about in a box, theeee worst filllm eveeeeer"...really tempted to delete her to be honest, lol.). Funnily enough, all of the ones who disliked it are under 18, while it seems to be getting a positive response from the older, or more mature crowd. I think if you go into the film knowing that it's 94 minutes of a man trapped in a coffin, you'll love it for what it is, but all these kiRAB going to watch it seem to be expecting it to be some kind of gruesome horror film...
 
just got back home. utterly brilliant film. intense, stressful and draining. i was in bits at the end :)

funny thing was, there was only one other man in the cinema, sitting up the back. when it finished, he started trying to talk to me - asking me if i liked it, what i thought .. stuff like that.

i'm frantically trying to look away from him and rummage around in my bag to disguise the fact i was blubbing my eyes out and totally freaked out :)
 
Although this is going against all of the opinions on here, I really didn't think anything of this film. The script was terrible. RR did the best he could in the circumstances but it didn't work. I was quite disappointed because I thought it would be very good. I should have waited for it to come out on DVD to rent (certainly not buy). I can't see this movie doing well.
 
It's definetely a 'cult' film. It's not going to set the box office alight but it's something different and for that alone everyone involved should be applauded.
