Buried Announced for Blu-ray

Disc Announcements, News

Lionsgate has announced that the upcoming Blu-ray Disc Combo Pack of Buried will arrive on January 18th. The claustrophobic thriller which centered on a man (Ryan Reynolds) buried alive got a warm reception at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival. However it didn’t have quite the theatrical release to match such a reception despite having strong critic approval (with a 86% rating on RT and 65 on Metacritic as of 11/29).

With the Blu-ray Disc Combo Pack you get both the Blu-ray and DVD. Special features are sparse, as only a single making-of doc (“Unearthing Buried“) will be included. The combo pack carries a suggested retail price of $29.95.

Paul Conroy (Reynolds) is not ready to die. Beaten and buried in a wooden box by Iraqi insurgents who attacked his civilian convoy, Conroy is left with only a cell phone, a lighter and 90 minutes to save his own life. He has only the voice of his kidnapper to help him piece together clues that could lead an elite team of special agents to his location and time is not on his side. Fighting despair, panic and delirium, Conroy focuses on his only link to the outside world – a cell phone with poor reception and a rapidly draining battery – to keep himself alive for himself and his family back home.
