The Thing from Another World – Great! Movies Classic – 11.45pm

Buried – Film4 – 11.50pm
Our pick for tonight, this 2010 one-location thriller centres on an Iraq-based American civilian truck driver (Ryan Reynolds) who finds himself buried alive in a wooden coffin after being attacked.
Taking place entirely within the coffin, Buried is a supremely compelling watch that plays on one specific primal fear and mines it for all the tension it can.
It also sees Reynolds’ trademark energy and motor-mouth delivery deployed differently than the likes of Deadpool, with the actor using these traits to instead convey genuine panic.
Critics seemed to love it too, with the movie earning an 87% score on Rotten Tomatoes.
