Great Film overall

A lot of fun.

The acting in this movie is really good.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

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.

Sometimes you just got to stop up, take a breath and actually pay heed to the reviews about a movie and actually look at the ratings given to a movie on IMDb. Now, of course, that can't be generalized for every single movie, because likes and dislikes is a matter of individual preference. But for this particular movie, I wish I had actually taken notice of those.The story is about a group of young people that venture into some crypt found beneath the city (that no one for some odd reason never went into or found) in search of the valuables stored here. As they lay their hands on the untold riches, it becomes clear that they are not alone in the crypts, and that the ancient dead will claim what is rightfully theirs at the cost of the living.Initially, then the story did have some potential, but it was all wasted by horrendous direction and a lack of commitment from the actors and actresses. And given the dire peril that the people were in, they were all awfully calm, level-headed and most often little worried about their lives being at risk. No, it just all didn't come together for a greater unity, and as such, the movie was a disaster.If there was anything holding the movie afloat, then it had to be the performance of Sandra Oh, although she could do very little to prevent this train wreck to slide downhill.The death scenes were laughable and came off the screen as anything but scary or disturbing."The Crypt" is not worth sitting through for a whole hour and twenty-something odd minutes. The movie just trotted along in a very dull and monotone pace, never really picking up pace at any point. And to put the icing on the cake, then the ending was just a final slap in the face to anyone who actually managed to suffer through the entire movie (as I had the misfortune to do)."The Crypt" should be left as crypts should be, sealed and left alone.

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.

It doesn't get much worse than this turd. The acting is worse than something I'd expect to see in an elementary school play. The script is about as deep, engaging, and sensible as the lyrics to a typical R.E.M. song.I'm not kidding when I say that this film is better suited as a comedy than as a thriller or horror flick. You'll laugh when someone in the cast witnesses a gnarled ghost/zombie, and acts as if it's nothing more than a chihuahua. Or how they respond to seeing someone killed right before their eyes as if the person had received nothing more than a papercut. It may be the most astonishingly-bad acting and directing I've ever seen.This movie really is not worth even what I've written so far.
