Review
Coffin is an
entertaining, fast-moving, and tightly written mainstream thriller whose
117-page storyline and characters ring true within their B-movie set-up─a young
woman returns to her long-abandoned hometown and discovers that tragedies and
fortunes that seem like random luck are anything but. To say anymore might
spoil the genre-familiar-but-immersive-and-tidily-presented elements that make
up Coffin. Worth owning, this.
