    In this premature-burial chiller, Peter Strauss abandons his usual good-guy persona to play a villain who entombs the daughter (Samantha Mathis) of rich businessman Robert Urich with just enough air to last until his ransom demands are met. It's based on a true story and director Donald Wrye makes the most of an accomplished script by Gale Patrick Hickman and OR Keyes to really bring out the goose-bumps.

    Good evening entertainment

    I enjoyed this DVD it kept my interest and the story was good.I feel that others would enjoy it too as long as they are not to struck on cgi and all that stuff which lacks realism anyway.
