Review of The Tomb

The Tomb (2007 Video)
1/10
Gag, cough-hack-weeze

I'm embarrassed to say I actually watched more than 30 minutes of this film. I ended up giving it to my brother who is making films now (nothing of note) as an "Educational 'How not to make a film'" DVD.

It's a shame IMDb doesn't allow a zero or negative vote because this would surely hit -10. ;)

Basically, its kinda like Saw and some other low budget films only its been made recently (shudder). I simply don't understand how H.P.Lovecraft's estate is tolerating seeing his name upon the cover of such a lowly product.

Its basically some people locked in a warehouse flick where they have to kill each other off in order to escape the dreaded "PuppetMaster".

The plot literally makes no sense and is further compounded by the actors' inability to actually do any acting.

I got this from a DVD club and more than likely will ask them to stop carrying it because it was so bad. The only way this film 'could' have been improved is if it were loaded with mime's acting in the roles then at least then we could sit back, laugh,and know its only a joke.

The film suffers badly from other things as well including but not limited to: bad soundtrack, flashes of things unrelated to the film, shaky camera (some people on America's home videos have a steadier hand), bad effects, and unrealistic scenarios.

One good thing about this is that it has taught me to come to IMDb.com to get the reviews of any films I may purchase. Had I only read this site.. I could have saved some ca$h.

The producers should do what Atari did in 1983 with their extra copies of "E.T. The video game". Collect them all and drive out to the desert late at night, crush them, encase them in cement, and bury them.
