Variety
Variety"In the movie's cheapest, most exploitative gesture - just as it is about to run out of tricks - a snake slithers into the pine box in which Paul awakens bound and gagged, not knowing where he is. With that gimmick, the movie sacrifices its last shred of integrity."

The New York Times
The New York Times"The use of 2:35 wide screen paradoxically increases the effect of claustrophobia. I would not like to be buried alive."

Roger Ebert
Roger Ebert"On a technical level Buried is impressive, at times blisteringly suspenseful."

New York Post
New York Post"A brutally intense indie that commits to its bleak premise and doesn't back down. Tarantino will cackle as he watches."
