The Tomb

This movie has nothing to do with Lovecraft's story, at all. It's just a cheesy heap trying to ride on the success of the Saw films, using Lovecraft's name to give itself some semblance of credibility.

This one has it all- Lack of real plot, recurring scenes that have absolutely nothing to do with the story, horrible acting, and even worse music...

The ending was the most disappointing thing of all.

If this isn't on the Worst Films of All Time list, it very well should be.

If you ever see this in a video store, you'd do best to run as far away as possible.

First I will say that this movie is so bad, I had to stop watching after 15 minutes. The movie is basically a copycat of Saw, except that the two main characters don't seem to want to escape. They keep walking around in circles in what appears to be a warehouse. Both have been tortured and they keep finding other tortured survivors who die a few minutes later. The sound is horrible as you can barely hear what they are saying over the the loud music. Just an atrocious piece of garbage. I gave it a 1, but if we could use negative numbers, I would give it a -10. Stay away from any movies directed, written or related in any way to Ulli Lommel.

I am a huge fan of Lovecraft and recently decided to re-read his works in chronological order.

"The Tomb" was the first piece of short fiction H.P. Lovecraft wrote as an adult. I would not say that the Lovecraft story is especially scary. The written work is mostly psychological horror, a ghost story with no violence to speak of. but I was furious to learn that this low-budget shlockfest was allowed to bill this film as Lovecraft's work, when it has nothing to do with the story. I mean NOTHING.

On top of that, "The Tomb" is hardly well-known to begin with, so why choose it? For me, it dishonors the memory of Lovecraft for these awful filmmakers to get away with it.

Was this because Lovecraft's works are now in the public domain, because they are? Why not just call the film "Phantom of the Opera" or "Frankenstein?" It would make just as much sense.

This has nothing to do with H. P. Lovecraft's' The Tomb! In fact, this is a terrible film. A waste of my time and money. I only rented this because I am a fan of Lovecraft's' work. Very disappointed indeed. Describing it as a 'Saw rip off' is giving it too much credit, but at least then a potential viewer would have a better idea of what he/she was going to see. They must have slapped Lovecraft's name on this in order to fool people into watching this peace of junk. OK, once I get past the disappointment associated with this not being a Lovecraft story it was creepy at times, but overall this is a low budget, low quality, film. The sound and lighting are of very low quality. The script is weak, the set is unimaginative, and for the most part, the acting is atrocious. Whether or not you like this kind of film or not is your business, but don't think it's Lovecraft, or you'll be disappointed too.

This is the worst movie i have ever seen in my entire life. It looks like it was made in someones basement with their fake blood kit left over from Halloween. Why would anyone even bother making this? They couldn't have honestly thought that it was a good movie.I could have made a better movie than this with the camera on my cell phone... Some people should just STOP TRYING! The girls fake blood and make up was coming off through out the whole movie, you couldn't hear what the characters were even saying. and the random shots through the TV were just retarded. why did we need to see some naked girl randomly during the first 30 min. it didn't make any sense. i just think that this movie is an embarrassment to all horror movies ever made. ever. in the history of all scary movies. idiots should just stop trying to make decent movies when they have to have some idea that the movie sucks at life. don't be stupid
