Creepy looking ghost woman+ Stupid horny and hatable teens = Kill 'em! Kill 'em! Kill 'em dumbass teens! Seriously was rooting for the ghosty zombie broad to murder all those annoying brats. Too bad they hog 75% of the screen time, along with a random appearance by Jigsaw (Tobin Bell) himself.

Many people consider this to be one of the worst horror films ever made, mostly because it's way too cliche.
Me? I think it's okay, it's graphic and kinda freaky. The only part that I defecated my pants was when Zane and Rene get buried alive at the end.
Pros:
*The gore scenes, even though very small in number, do look pretty cool.
*A couple of these younger actors with Bell actually can act.
*If you're looking for a "revenge ghost" story more than a straight-out Horror film,
check this one out.
Cons:
*The story doesn't really get cooking until the last twenty minutes.
And that's only at a simmer.
*There's two within this "teenage" group that look like they graduated
from college 10 years ago.
*Ewww, kissing cousins alert! And will someone please check on Phil already?
First off lemme make clear this is NOT the 1990 film starring Tim Matheson & Jennifer Jason Leigh or is it Sony's 2007 misuse of the title either. This is Dimension Extreme's 2006 Buried Alive Unrated that spouts above the title starring (starring? He's in just three scenes!) Tobin Bell from Saw. But like those other films with the same name, you yourself might feel a little underground when watching this movie too.
Take a group of six college kids: two cousins, the girl cousin's boyfriend, the boy cousin's nerdy computer friend, and two fraternity-pledging bimbos off on an adventure to stay one night in the cousin's great-great grandparents home where many years ago ole grandpa offed his first Indian wife over gold found on the grounds. Unfortunately though for that family tree, now the ghostly spirit of that first wife wants to kill any member of that bloodline and is just awaiting them to come on down to the ranch for a visit. Along the way the group runs into the groundkeeper (played by Bell, who's acting is still top-notch and deserves better than this), and figures out that he's not the only one looking for all that lost gold that started a number of murders on the property years ago. Eventually strange things start happening, axes go flying, and we get a history lesson into ancient Indian beliefs and curses.
Directed by legendary special effectsman Robert Kurtzman (who's resume is a mile long with Horror highlights like Evil Dead 2, Phantasm 2, Bride Of Re-Animator, Halloween 5, the impressive list goes on and on) you'd figure after all this time making Horror films would be a piece of bloody cake. However, it's awfully surprising the lack of gore within this story. Don't get me wrong, the few scenes that have it (all practical:aka rubber) are quite impressive, but they're too quick and not enough. In fact, this movie outside of one early shot really doesn't get the frights started till almost the hour and ten minute mark! However, Kurtzman's visuals are nice with desert backgrounds, full up-high shots, and creepy house views, but the story is more like a ghost thriller than a typical Horror film, like the script was from the 70's or something. Also for a major studio title, to be completely bare-boned other than a few start-up previews doesn't help the overall purchase either. Might be worth a rent for seeing an older "female" slasher in this usual male-driven genre, not to mention a couple of cute nudity set-up's, but overall for a guy with a resume like Kurtzman's, he really should have came up with something more exciting and to the bloody point than this.
Horrible movie. Absolutely horrible. Shitty effects, shitty acting, some weirdo incest going on between cousins, and a retarded story. The only thing that saves this from me giving it a 1 is that a nice pair of ta ta's and a sweet ass make their way onto the screen.
Good rental with some decent scares. Besides Tobin Bell the acting was pretty weak, but the effects were cool. Had some 80's style T&A which helped it along. Definitely worth seeing.
Not a bad ghost movie. I thought it was good except it was pretty slow and there wasnt enough gore but other than that it was a pretty good flick from Dimension Extreme.
