n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
View MoreIt's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
View MoreIt’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

View MoreWhen I first saw this advertised, I was thinking it was a movie based on the book, The Tomb by F. Paul Wilson so I watched the first part of the movie and shut it off. Not really my kind of movie at all. I love a good horror flick that scares the daylights out of me but not this film. I rated it a low budget movie. Not worth watching at all. I've seen great acting in a lot of horror flicks and they will make me hide under my bed. But this movie? Is a joke, not even worthy of being considered a horror film or put under horror genre. I mean come on people. you guys can do a lot better with the movie than what I've seen and let me tell you, I am 54 years old and I've seen many horror films in my life, good and bad ones and this is at the top of my list of bad movies.

Corny acting and dialog that could be barely spoken with a straight face. Confusing locations in the movie--tough to put your finger on where it was taking place. One minute they're in the USA, the next, they're in Russia. The electricity works fine, the suddenly it's not working and no one says anything. The movie is filled with tons of gaffes. Soundtrack consisted of a much too loud orchestra playing throughout every scene, (much like a Looney Toons cartoon.)I'm sure the writers, producers etc, thought they were creating a masterpiece. Trust me,they didn't come close.
View More"We will never have to pay that price. We can live forever."I don't know why I watch movies like these. They're clearly going to be awful. All the reviews I read further reinforced the fact that it was going to be awful. But, I still felt compelled to see it, anyway. And yep, it was awful.The problems were myriad. The scares and horror aspect of The Tomb were surpassed by most of The Goosebumps books I read as a kid. The story was silly and bland. The attempt to appeal to the audience with sex fell flat with scenes that would hardly earn a PG-13 rating and had no chemistry between the participants.The absolute worst things about The Tomb, though were the acting and the script. The entire cast was uniformly wretched, especially Wes Bentley and Sofya Skya. Sofya is certainly a very beautiful woman, but she would be wise to reconsider this whole "actress" thing. And Bentley came close to achieving the feat of making me never want to see another movie that he's in, ever. As for the script, describing it as "amateur" would be an insult to everyone who has ever been an amateur at anything in the history of the world. The dialogue is abysmal, and I can't imagine that anyone spent more than a few hours writing this.I don't know what kind of dire financial situations are responsible for Eric Roberts and Michael Madsen being in this dreck, but I'm willing to offer money out of my own pockets to help them never have to be in anything this terrible, again. The only possible entertainment to be gained from The Tomb is from making fun of it. It's hilariously bad, but still too boring for me to recommend even for a laugh with your friends.
View MoreI don't know what the heck that was, or why people need to rip off Edgar Allen Poe for ideas, other than he's in the Public Domain and won't ask for a royalty! The plot, which kind of echoes Poe, is that an English professor is enticed from his engagement to a singer to a sultry Goth babe from Russia, and is convinced to use his immense wealth to rebuy her Russian estate while she looks for ways to extend her mortality through magic and science. What we get is a confused mess of body swaps and the kings of Direct to DVD, Michael Madsen and Eric Roberts, playing largely unnecessary supporting characters.Other than that, some parts of the film look quite good for a low-budget made in Eastern Europe mess...
