Coffin (2011) Reviews
Unexpectedly above average Cheating Wife thriller
This is actually a much better film than I expected and though I only scored it 6 from 10 in the vote ratings, this is definitely above average and compares favourably to 'Buried" from 2011. A similar film about a victim being buried in a coffin. May I say that although two people are kept in a coffin, the story is not what you may think it is - about anybody being buried below the ground, though of course they could easily be, given the nature of the storyline. The acting is not great, agreed, but it does not need to be. the script is good enough to carry the story and keeps us gripped until the excellent twist at the end. The main theme of the story is a cheating wife (and to some extent a cheating husband). There are many unrealistic elements to the film and I might have chosen to call the movie 'Trick" for example. If it did remind me of another film which does not give the plot away in any way, it is the abuse of the clown in "Vulgar" from a few years ago. Pay $16 to watch this in a cinema? Why would you? It should be readily available on DVD and that is its intended market, I am quite sure.
Worth the Rental
Don't get me wrong, it's not American Beauty, but it's also not trying to be. Would I pay $16 to see it in theaters? No. But if you're a fan of shows like CSI or Law and Order, or like the Saw movies (with less/no gore), this will be worth your 90 minutes. Bruce Davison always adds to whatever project he is in. Sorbo is great (but not in it as much as you would think since he's trapped in a box). The other lead, Patrick Barnitt, does a great job (especially for an actor without a lot of credits). I didn't really buy the villain. Just thought it was a bit over the top. I understand maybe he was compensating for size or age, but I agree with the other user, it comes across as a bad impression of Heath Ledger's joker. The rest of the supporting cast does a good job at making even the small roles memorable. Again, it might not be for everyone, but if you like crime periodicals or thrillers with a twist, this is a fun little movie. Enjoy!
This movie is terrible!
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.
a thriller with a twist at the end
Perfect example to trick the unknown buyers of flicks. Buried (2010) was a must see, so they tried to copy the title, face it, coffin has a lot to do with buried. On the other hand the sleeve also looks very closely to Buried. But the story is something completely different. We do have two people who are buried in a coffin but there's more going on. It looked promising with the masked villain but once he changed his hood for shades it became ridiculous. And the acting wasn't worth watching too. Still if you do like thrillers with a plot change then you may like it but it did have an overall low budget look. I just wasn't involved into the characters. No suspense at all just sitting there and thinking at the end, okay but nothing special. I could have known it, it was here already on the sale shelves when it came out. Gore 0/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 0/5 Story 3/5 Comedy 0/5
Good popcorn flick
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.
