Burial is... atmospheric, with something thematically potent lurking in its sylvan half-light.

“Burial” does have a fair share of suspenseful moments but it never takes full advantage of its premise.

Burial has a hard enough core, both in terms of its central premise and its pulpy tropes, that for about 30 minutes, it almost works as a decent B-movie, right before it unceremoniously falls apart.

Burial's script contains some interesting elements, but the film never manages to truly rise to the occasion as either a horror movie or a war story.
