"Buried alive." Actors of debut horror Frank Darabont

Currently, Frank Darabont is the author of the most famous adaptations of works by Stephen King - "Escape from Shawshank", "Green Mile" and "Mist". But he began his brilliant career as a director with the filming of a full-length psychological thriller "Zazhivo zabobenny" (first actors: T. Matheson, DJ Lee, W. Aetheron, H. Exstone and D. Gerber), intended for television.

Creators

Director Frank Darabont has long been able to prove himself as a professional in the subgenre of horror drama. His film projects are distinguished by a unique plot of the storyline, which often extends beyond the explanable, the accents are shifted not to establish the root causes and consequences of ongoing events, but to understand the nature of human motives and fears. The debut film "Buried alive", the actors and roles of which are known to the admirers of the work of the director, is not inferior to the subsequent author's film projects either in content or in terms of submitting the material.

Script writers David A. Davis and Mark Patrick Carducci, based on the eponymous novel of the first, avoid the traditional genre turns, offering to the viewer the story of a carefully planned and deliberate brutal murder without embellishment and softening offshoots in the narrative. As a result, cruel enough, despite the designated rating of PG-13, turned out to be a thriller "Zazhivo buried" (film 1990, USA). Actors involved in the production process, under the skilful direction of the director, gave filmmakers a selection of beautiful character characters.

Plot

The main heroine of the thriller Joanna (actress Jennifer Jason Lee), formerly a broken town thing, is withered from longing in a provincial provincial town in which she was forced to settle after the wedding. Dimensional life and destiny of the housewife is not for her, so Joanna, trying to diversify routine, gets an affair with the cynical local doctor Cortlan van Owen (actor William Atherton). In the course of the development of their passionate novel, a couple is born a crazy idea - to kill the good-natured husband of Joanna - Clint Goodman (actor Tim Matheson). Immediately the lovers devise a cunning plan, intending to carry out the criminal plan in the near future. As a result, the vicious tandem leads the plan to execution, Poorman Goodman goes to a different world, but not for long. Soon he will return, overcome by a thirst for revenge. Such is the artless plot of horror "Healed buried". Actors involved in the work on the project successfully realized the idea of the director, and in 1990 the world saw a simple, but tastefully created horror film.

Actors' Ensemble

Horror "Healed buried" reveals all aspects of the transformation of individuals who are on the verge of moral degradation, and a character who has become an unhappy victim of criminal intent. Merit in this not only the director, but also the performers of the main and secondary roles. The whole cast of the picture deserves praise, since all the images embodied convincingly enough. However, the actor's ensemble of the tape should highlight the main actors - Tim Matheson (Clint Goodman), Jennifer Jason Lee (Joanne Goodman) and William Eterton (a lover physician).

The main actors

Tim Matheson is an American producer, stage director, actor. He became known after participating in the TV series "The West Wing", in which he played the role of John Hoyce, Vice President of the United States. Also, many viewers will recognize him as the performer of the role of Dr. Brik Briland from the television series "Zoe Hart from the Southern State". Curiously, the actor from the movie "Buried alive", who played the unfortunate deceived and killed spouse, is married and happy in marriage for 25 years, has three children and believes in love until the grave.

Jennifer Jason Lee is an American singer, actress, producer and screenwriter. The actress is known to a wide spectator audience as a performer of emotionally difficult roles, and sometimes mentally inadequate, sometimes excessively vulnerable heroines of the first and second plan. She deliberately avoided participation in popular films after the horror "Zazhivo buried." Actors who worked with Lee in creative tandem, noted her outstanding talent for reincarnation.

William Atherton is an American film actor. The most famous movie in the world in comparison with his colleagues in the film "Healed buried." The actors in the love triangle of Frank Darabont's project do not have such significant films in their filmography as Atherton ("Sugarland Express", "Oscar", "In Search of Mr. Goodbar", "Die Hard 1, 2", etc.).

Ambiguous style

The film, which has the format of straight trash, the beginning producer Frank Darabont managed to turn into an ironic horror film with elements of a mystical thriller. Given the modest budget, the director did not begin to reinvent the wheel, ignored the typical chamber scenery and successfully placed emphasis on individual episodes. Correctly correlating the timing of the film and the scale of the developing events, he escaped the ideological void and annoying sagging in the dynamics of the storyline.
