Critics' reviews

"An ingenious exercise in sustained tension that would make Alfred Hitchcock turn over in his grave."

Rob Nelson: Variety
"Ryan Reynolds is astounding (...)The effect is genuinely creepy, but do not even think of seeing Buried if you suffer from claustrophobia"

Rex Reed: The New York Observer
"Ingenious in creating more plausible action than you would expect possible. (...) The images we summon in our minds are more compelling than any we could see. (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"

Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times
"A horror movie with delusions of moral grandeur (...) If you shrug off its pretensions, “Buried” works as a manipulative stunt that gets your adrenaline pumping"

Stephen Holden: The New York Times
