One of the scariest things imaginable for a lot of people is the idea of being buried alive. And that’s the subject of Rodrigo Cortes’ new movie Buried, starring the new Captain America, Ryan Reynolds.
Icon Film Distribution has just released a new UK poster for the film depicting Reynolds in a coffin buried under a lot of clay and dirt. This Phone Booth-esque story has captivated audiences at Sundance with critic raving about Reynolds and the production values of the feature.
Synopsis:
Open your eyes. You’re in a closed space beneath 2500 pounds of soil. You have 90 minutes of oxygen left to breathe. Your only connection to the outside world is a mysterious cell phone with limited reception and battery life. And each second is a second closer to death… Paul Conroy is not ready to die. But when he wakes up 6 feet underground with no idea of who put him there or why, life for the truck driver and family man instantly becomes a hellish struggle for survival. Buried with only a cell phone and a lighter, his contact with the outside world and ability to piece together clues that could help him discover his location are maddeningly limited. Poor reception, a rapidly draining battery and a dwindling oxygen supply become his worst enemies in a tightly confined race against time— fighting panic, despair and delirium, Paul has only 90 minutes to be rescued
The movie is out October 1st.
