Review of Entombed

Entombed (2020)
7/10
Claustrophobic mediation on the nature of evil
16 November 2021
Seamus is on a run from zombies when he finds an underground shelter. There are two people there already, Konrad and Mila. Seamus is thankful for the shelter but soon starts to wonder if he can trust everything Konrad has said to him.

Many will think of 10 Cloverfield Lane (2016) when watching this film but it made me think just as much about "The World, the Flesh and the Devil" (1959), "The Quiet Earth" (1985) and "Z for Zachariah" (2015). All films with two men and one woman at the end of the world.

As in all good zombie films we learn that humans are the real monsters. The zombies only show us what lies beneath.

What impressed me the most about this film is the cinematography. This is a low budget film but it looks like a million dollars. The lighting is stunning and the frame composition is beautiful!

The actors do a good job, especially considering that they play in English which is not their native language.

If you are looking for action then this might not be for you but if you like claustrophobic mediation on the nature of evil then this might be your cup of tea.
