Guy Carrell is convinced his father was buried alive so much so that it has become an obsession that is ruling his life and ripping his marriage apart.
On their marriage night Guy has an episode that will be only one of many and he cancels the newlyweds honeymoon plans and instead he dedicates all his time to building is own crypt equip with many way he can get out if his biggest fear becomes reality and he is buried alive. Emily fed up of feeling like a widow before her husband has even died makes Guy choose between her or the crypt and his obsession with death.
Shot with plenty of atmosphere between the beautiful old house and the foggy marsh lands around the estate exclusively at night it really sets up the tone. There is a fantastic use of colour here from the furnishings of the house the blood red candles to the lavish colours of Emilys dresses every colour so striking and beautifully used.
I used to always have nightmare growing up of being buried alive so this film had some unnerving moments for me. Great acting great atmosphere and a great story a wonderful film.
