SunnyHello Nice effects though.

SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

smkroh I won't bother recounting the story background, I just want to vent about the many things I thought were unforgivably stupid:1. The book of Hebrews is in the New Testament, morons.2. Don't write your script about a deep subterranean ancient site and then shoot it on a set that looks like a generic basement boiler room/custodian's office.3. The team is supposedly a mercenary unit, but lots of dialog as the movie grinds along makes it sound like they are on active duty with the government. Note that I don't even have to get into a critique of their skill or behavior to find a fatal flaw. 4. Would an ancient religious order dedicated to preserving the entrapment of an ancient evil have so many members who look like generic modern-day clerics? Wouldn't something with monastic robes and ancient holy weapons have been more fun? Why do half of them look like scientists and half like Father Central Casting? Are they here to fight the evil or study it? The movie can't make up its mind and probably doesn't know.5. Cuba Gooding's flashback is supposedly critical to his character, but it rehashes the same footage endlessly, only revealing about 2 seconds of new info each time. When the "big reveal" comes it's nothing that earth-shaking, and feels empty because of a total lack of context or consequences, other than "he once did something he's ashamed of," but doled out like it's going to be as vital as the Zapruder film or something.6. Why don't all the bad guys leave while the mercs are stumbling around getting killed?7. How many nephilim are there in this particular location? The script sets it up as one, then says "we" and "they" an awful lot. And not in a context where it makes sense that all nephilim around the world are being discussed.8. What is the threat? Seduction by evil? Madness? Are the sores and the black gook just a symptom or a part of the corruption process? Once again, the script doesn't know or care. One minute the gook burns like acid, the next it makes you into a demon foot-soldier.A horror/action/suspense film that plays in the unfilled areas of the theological map can be awesome. The first Prophecy film is a sterling example. But you have to do your homework. Know something about both orthodox religion and its heretical offshoots before you start playing with alternative histories and theologies. The random, bland, conspiracy pap spouted by this script is indefensible. "It's all a game! They're playing us for fools! They're just playing both sides against the middle! Everything you believe is a lie!" Yawn.

bastiaan0740 As much as it pains me, I'm going to give this movie an even lower rating than it already has at the moment; a 3/10. It pains me because I'm a Rollins fan, but unfortunately, other than seeing him act, the movie has very little going for it. OK; lets walk through this movie. The cast seemed impressive enough with Cuba and Pearlman, the plot had possibilities, and after seeing the intro, it was clear the movie had a budget as well. But...it all went downhill from there. So we have an underground research base with a few zombie-like creatures in it. They talk trash, then get killed by the cliché-marines. The marines apparently have a total lack of solidarity with one another and some just wander off and end up getting killed by the zombies. We have an extraterrestrial-like entity, a fallen angel, trapped in a giant ice cube. The marines discover it, then walk away. Nothing is really done with it. At the end, the marines find out that the supposed goal of the mission, the rescue of a professor, is actually a trap by the female researcher/daughter who is also present. They were trapped in the base from the moment they entered. Oh OK. This could only have been achieved because their expert hacker was tricked in triggering the explosives inside and locking the door with a code - but the hacker may not be skilled enough to unlock the door, or to even notice something was wrong. The marines may not be skilled enough to de-arm the explosives. Only the female professor knows the code. I understand the idea to destroy the facility, but trapping the marines inside along with the surviving workers (by the 'good guys'!) is unnecessary. So the entire facility was set up with a self-sealing door and explosives with a trigger system by someone, and one of the two real goals of the mission is to blow everything up. By fooling some marines to be the trigger of the system and trapping them there? What? Couldn't the guy that set up the explosives - or anyone else for that matter, like the marines - use a remote control? The other goal is to save the soul of the possessed professor. Wait, how did anyone know he was possessed? The possessed professor talks some trash, then gets killed as well, in a rather unsatisfactory way. Thankfully he lives on for a few seconds so his bad soul can get banished, and his soul is saved. Good, otherwise all the sacrifices would have been in vain. People don't even know souls exist, but his daughter is willing to sacrifice countless lives to save her fathers soul. Because we know that, when there are two souls in a body, and the body blows up, the bad soul still owns the good soul or something. Henry Rollins had enough and walks into some barbed wire and dies. This sounds as unsatisfying as it really was. Finally, Cuba calls it quits and takes an elevator ride to freedom as the only survivor. Wait, did he finally get the code to unlock the doors anyways? I stopped caring...In all, this movie tries to copy the alien/doom/event horizon formula, where marines are trapped in a remote location fighting an alien enemy. However, it failed to excite.

Lucien Lessard An elite military is hired to rescue an important scientist by the name of Wesley Cardell (Ron Perlman) from a top secret Middle Eastern archaeological site. Captain Mack (Oscar-Winner:Cuba Gooding Jr.) and his team (Taryn Manning, Zack Ward, Frankie G, Jason London, Brandon Fobbs and Stephanie Jacobsen) along with an CIA agent named Elissa Cardell (Valerie Cruz) are descending deep below civilization. Which Elissa is hoping to rescue her father Wesley. Soon enough, the team faces unspeakable evil. Which evil spirits focus on their fears and the team starts having hallucinations. While Mack has flashbacks of his former best friend Blakely (Ray Winstone) and the ancient evil is trying to kill them, one at a time.Directed by Jason Connery (51, Pandemic) made an enjoyable, trashy, cheesy and in this very made "B" movie. Which the director is the son of a very big film star, which is Oscar-Winner:Sean Connery. The premise of the feature isn't very original, since the picture will certainly reminds you of "John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness" and "Event Horizon". The movie has an surprisingly good cast including Henry Rollins and Bill Moseley in a memorable bit part as a possessed scientist.DVD has an good anamorphic Widescreen (1.85:1) transfer and an fine Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. The DVD has an fairly enjoyable commentary track by the director and actor:Gooding Jr., an behind the scenes featurette, alternate scenes and outtakes. "The Devil's Tomb" is best enjoyed, if you don't take this movie seriously. The movie is fun, if you watch it with an open mind. Perphas the feature could have been more convincing, if the picture had an bigger budget or an better script. Anyway, "The Devil's Tomb" is "B" movie trash all the way. (*** ½/*****).

germanbini I was so impressed after reading the previous reviews that I decided my time would be better spent by giving the dogs their flea baths.My boyfriend watched the movie - his comments were, "it truly sucked." I asked if the reviewers were right, and he said that he thought they made the movie sound even better than it actually was! "This is 90 minutes of my life I won't get back - it was a total waste. I would not recommend anyone would watch it - especially not if they were suicidal, because this movie makes you want to pull the pin and see what's on the other side! It was not good, not good at all. I think Cuba Gooding needs to learn how to say, 'Would you like fries with that?' after acting in a movie like that."
