Just Buried (2007)

6/10

Morbidly intriguing.

Just Buried is very dark comedy about a Oliver (Jay Baruchel) who inherits his father's almost bankrupt funeral home. Not long after, he falls in love with the young mortician (Rose Byrne) who works at the home, who suggest they start offing people to keep the funeral home running.

The film is very twisted but at the same time very intriguing. The storyline grabs your attention right away and keeps you at the edge of your seat till the very end.

Jay Baruchel is very believable in the lead as the nerdy guy who inherits a funeral home with no experience in the field. Rose Byrne gives a great performance as the mortician who isn't slightly bothered by her profession.

The film is very quirky and has funny moments sprinkled throughout. But be forewarn, this film is gory...not for the squeamish.

I'm surprised Just Buried isn't more well known. The twist and turns in the film is quite shocking and caught me off guard a few times. I was unsure how it would end and was blown away by the course the story took.


If you enjoy comedy, twists, mystery, morbid all thrown together...and isn't bothered by blood and gore...THEN definitely check out Just Buried!
