Reviews

Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.
Bernard Lee Crawford 1. It is imperative that young woman spend an inordinate amount of time applying makeup and hair so they look as attractive as possible when delving into a tomb to extricate valuables.2. All member of said group of thieves must wear the same coordinated clothing. Very low cut black tank tops to extenuate the bosoms and skin tight shorts to accentuate the derrière for from behind buttock shots. Just forgo clothing and gloves to protect the body while crawling around in an antiquated tomb.3. As always with any antiquated location when the intrepid group arrives, electricity is on. This a tomb that was supposedly sealed off decades ago. Some well-meaning individual has also obviously been changing out incandescent light bulbs as they burn out. Thumbs up helpful citizen.4. The obligatory scene when a thief is checking for a cell phone signal underground through yards of cement. DOH5. One of the most illogical and ridiculous lines written for an actor: Leader of group is explaining to the only other member alive that she had been in this tomb a few years before and had seen the animated dead and she was not bothered by them so she forms the cogent thought that they would not bother as a group as they were ripping the dead off. Lug wrench to the head!6. The idea that a tomb is the location of millions of dollars' worth of jewelry and cash is completely and UTTERLY unbelievable. Thieves would be killing one another to get into the tomb and it would have to be under armed guard to prevent theft.7. A young lady is capable of looking at an antiquated piece of jewelry and immediately give you the going monetary value of said piece. RIGHT!8. The tombs animated dead individual dealing out justice is obviously James Belushi dressed as Jake Blues. He was perfect for the part since he is ungainly deteriorated and rotted. You just CANNOT mistake that Jake Blues smile!9. Never feel regret nor remorse over your scumbag boyfriend enough to once again enter said tomb to find you cannot extract him and he meets his demise at the hands of Jake Blues in a matter of seconds.10. If you are SUCH a professional perhaps when stealing an automobile you can utilize that cell phone to keep in contact with another of your posse to relay to you in REAL time what the owner is doing. Especially since he is a crack shot with a pistol and is able to shoot through the front window and score a head shot on the person sitting in the back seat behind the person in the passenger seat.What is interesting is that there is a movie here but you have to make it gritty to work not just film young woman scantily clothed that become the masturbatory fuel for adolescent males.
Andy Van Scoyoc This movie could have been good...but it just...wasn't. It wasn't horrid, but I really hate to see wasted potential.Apparently, this movie had a budget...which makes the fact that this film left so much to be desired, even more of a serious disappointment. I almost stopped watching after the obligatory and useless boob shot. When are film makers going to grow up?Not just men watch horror...and the shot did nothing to help the movie.There are thousands of Indie filmmakers (myself included) that would give anything to have a budget like the one this film had...and to see it wasted on boring acting, sometimes stupid plot and lackluster presentation, is a shame.Some parts were okay...some were dumb. Worth a watch...just don't expect much.
kosmasp Still at least a point for trying. Plus the scenes "down under" have a certain good look to them. The claustrophobia can be felt through the screen. But that's almost about it (unless you count the blood effects and one scene of nudity to the positive side as well). You can't possibly cheer the acting ... if you're serious about it.Something the movie unfortunately is. Instead of playing it for fun (might have netted a few extra points here and there), it tries to be serious. It doesn't really work. If you don't mind the acting, you will mind the dialog. The "plot" is more than simple, but there are not many horror movies who have something complex to give to the viewer, so that doesn't really count. Not really worth a look ...
billcr12 The Crypt starts in 1979 with a guy breaking into a coffin and stealing a ring off of a corpse. As he reaches back in for more jewelry, the lid slams down, severing his hand. The entrance to the crypt seals, trapping him inside. We move ahead thirty years, and Perry is getting out of prison and his girlfriend P.J. meets him and three more trailer trash party girls join the get together. Gina mentions an underground vault built in the 1930s, which contains wealthy peoples final resting place. Equipped like coal miners, with picks, flashlights and ropes, they venture down into the abyss. Gina's backpack is emptied mysteriously and they see ghosts. Do they leave? Of course not, they are greedy. Gina removes a necklace from a skeleton and says that the corpse opened it's eyes. A loud rumbling occurs and some of the dead awaken and attack the grave robbers. Karma takes over, offing the evil perpetrators, one by one. Do not waste your time on this garbage.
