To have such an actor as Cuba G in this type and caliber of movie should be insulting. I can understand wanting to break the stereotype of characters he is prone too but this part in this movie is a HUGE leap in the wrong direction. A once A-List actor turned to terrible class B horror? This movie was by far a waist of 90 minutes of my life that I surely will never get back. The lines were typical, the action over played and the only glimmer of promise came from a semi-unique story line that fails to provide the depth one might look for in a movie. My rating is poor at best. I can only hope that the rest of the cast find better work, even if its in the food service industry.

Really bad!!! Why actors such as Cuba G Jnr, Ray Winstone and Ron Pearlman (who i think is highly under-rated) would put their talents into this piece of crap is beyond me!! The acting is cheezy at bast, and down right awful at worst. The story is lame, the writing is lamer... Full of clichéd one liners that weren't even funny in the eighties and the characters are so 2 dimensional it isn't even funny.

If i didn't know better i'd think i was watching an Uwe Boll film.

I know films like this aren't made to win Oscars but the writer could have at least but a bit of effort into it, instead of recycling every cheezy 80's action B movies lines putting them into this film!!!

I don't know where to begin with this flick. Maybe here: Soldiers who don't at all act & move like trained soldiers, female soldiers with make-up on while in combat, some third rate CGI effects that I could do on my PC in fifteen minutes, and enough plot-holes and unexplained crap to lose count of fairly fast.

In fairness, Cuba Gooding Jr. and Bill Mosely made the film ALMOST watchable. But those two alone couldn't save the horrid storyline, and the above-mentioned things. I tried very hard to get past some of the issues that I found with this film, but it was to no avail. After 48 minutes I found myself being thankful that I was more than half way into the film.

I thought years ago (in the 80's) that low-end horror flicks couldn't get any more lame, but was DEAD WRONG. It is sad to see someone as talented as the Oscar winning Cuba Gooding taking roles in such ridiculous movies. I hope that his appearance in this one didn't ruin his career long-term.

Watch out guys - the review saying this movie is "surprisingly" good - is being sarcastic! - it's actually pretty dead on if you're in on the joke - maybe I'm just slow, but I did not get it - and now it's too late - I've wasted my time on this pile of s...! I guess a movie titled " The Devil's Tomb" is never gonna be Oscar material, but I still expected some kind of dumb entertainment of some sort - but what a letdown! Only fun to be had is trying to keep track of all the dumb moves this crew of "elite" soldiers pull off. It's truly a special team Cuba Gooding has managed to form here - there's a rookie on board too - everyone makes fun of him - but he might just be the wisest of the bunch. Speaking bout rookie stuff - this movie is just so poorly made that it's impossible to get into on any kind of level! What I'm trying to say is: whatever You do - DON'T waste your time on this one!

Okay! So when does the real movie start? Hi, to whoever is reading this? 2009 has seen some pretty good comebacks such as “Righteous Kill” with Robert De Niro and Al Pachino, so in that sense I was hoping for such a comeback from Cuba Gooding. The guy performed marvelously in “Men of Honor” and showed talent in “Pearl Harbor” but when I read the plot of his last movie I got the shivers. “The Devil’s tomb” revolves around the idea of an elite group of soldiers that are on a covert mission to retrieve a scientist from an underground lab encounter an ancient evil in the facility. Hmm…kinda sound like “Resident evil” + “The Exorcist”, but what the heck, innocent until proved guilty as the saying goes. When I started watching the movie I was stunned at the silly plot, empty conversations, bad actors play , the bad effects and cheesy make up. The satanic element was supposed to be an attention-grabber but for me it was a completely the opposite. Its not that I don’t like these kinds of movies , I actually enjoy them but this time I was just …Irritated would be the right word I guess. The dark and satanic were completely lacking and what was left were religious zombies that spat goo on “elite” soldiers. It’s a low- budget project so that should be an excuse for some of the blunders but the actors just made me feel as though they played only for as much money as they received. They had no feeling, no will to make a good role. It was as if they had a hard time getting up when they thought of their roles. Even Cuba Gooding, of whom I had such good impressions, disappoints with his performance. The sexually charged scenes were actually ruined , in my opinion, by some disgusting moments ( the make up…) In conclusion I would like to say that this is a movie that will irreversibly waste one and a half hours of your live. Heck, the movie is not really worth the reading of this review. So, NO ,I don’t recommend it to anyone. STAY CLEAR of this movie even if there is nothing else to watch.

Essentially, it's another one of those "US Soldiers release another monster in Iraq" movies. This time, it's a "fallen angel" called a Nephilim...

Of course, they get stuff wrong, like saying the "Hebrews" is in the Old Testament (It's actually in the New) or that a Military doctor would have the rank of Sergeant. (Actually, military doctors are commissioned officers.)

Cuba Gooding is just sad, because he used to be a promising actor. Now he's sharing a stage with a bunch of no-names. Ron Perleman phones it in for another session... The story has all the depth of a video game...

It really is embarrassing to see an Oscar winner such as Cuba Gooding Jr. and other talented veterans wasting their time with such third rate material. Even horror lovers willing to check out just about anything may grow weary of this one, as it's stuff we've all seen before. It's religion / apocalypse theme nonsense (directed by Sean Connery's son Jason) with dumb, dumb characters, supposedly playing a crack Special Forces team, recruited to probe the mystery of what happened at an underground installation / archaeological dig. Cuba's character Captain Mack is the guy in charge, and it's dispiriting to see him look so weary, and clearly thinking, "Can someone please rescue me from this junk?"

The rest of the cast doesn't fare any better, despite the presence of some familiar faces. Among those on Cuba's team are Zack Ward, Jason London, and Franky G. The female cast members - Taryn Manning, Valerie Cruz, and Stephanie Jacobsen - are all attractive, but watching them fails to add much appeal to this thing. Bill Moseley, Ray Winstone, and Ron Perlman are all slumming badly here; Perlman, certainly, looks like he couldn't care less. So why should the viewer? Not even the brief nudity supplied by Holly Weber, or the casting of Henry Rollins as a priest, is really reason enough to sit through this. There is enough gore and grossness on hand to allow for some amusement.

Badly written, badly directed, and totally lacking in suspense and excitement, "The Devil's Tomb" couldn't even get up to average level, even for a B movie lover such as this viewer.

Four out of 10.

Firstly I have to say that this movie has appalling musical scores that makes it feel like a midday tv drama. For $10M they could have done a lot better and it really lets the movie down in so many ways. Secondly, the script is childish unfortunately and a bit on the light side but that might just be the action side as there is plenty of it.

The movie is basically about a temple that has been dug up deep underground. There's a theological spin added in with some Event Horizon ,Feast, and Doom blood and gore effects to keep us blood 'n gore hounds happy which was definitely a highlight of this movie. Lots of gory possessions and even some t&a.

The movie is a search and rescue that turns into a fight for your life very similar to the movie Doom in that respect except its not a sci-fi based in the future and the ending is dreadful and makes little sense. Man-can-climb-900-feet-in-seconds, that alone I know can annoy a lot of people and could be to blame for its poor rating. So if you aren't one of these people that need an entertaining movie to have a perfect tie up at the end you will probably enjoy it otherwise you've been warned.

Take ideas and plot points from Alien, Aliens, Event Horizon, and (especially) Prince of Darkness and add some absurdity, sprinkle with blood and implausible characters and this is what you get.

Those were all vastly better films but this isn't quite as horrible as some junk on SyFy so if it's free to watch you could do worse. I gave it a 5 due to some familiar faces in the cast and the job they do and the average-looking blood and gore. Story-wise they didn't seem to put much effort into it besides "adapting" from better movies. Also amusing were the military tactics used in the Iraq flashbacks but I'm not sure they meant for me to chuckle during the battle scenes.

If you want a much better film along the same lines, watch Prince of Darkness instead and during the slow parts imagine space marines using electronic trackers that never seem to work, dodging acid-spewing creatures while running into long-dead loved ones without wondering how they happened to be there. The 5 is generous in my opinion but this could have been a lot worse.

Appallingly bad. I really wanted to like a movie directed by Sean Connery's kid, but there was nothing redeemable in this "effort". It wasn't just disappointing to see the great Ron Perlman and Cuba Gooding Jr. in this piece of dreck, it was actually depressing. The script is about what you'd expect from someone with Keith Kjorne's resume - utterly devoid of any sense. The dialogue is unintentionally funny and the sets and effects are cheap and cheesy. While this combination occasionally - but nonetheless rarely - produces a movie that at least has some camp value, such is not the case here.

In short, The Devil's Tomb makes such movies as Terminal Invasion or The Woods or any of the Phantasm series look like high art. What a stinker.

I shall keep this quick and simple, this is they worst film I have ever viewed !! No exaggeration this movie is truly brutal. How this was ever given the thumbs up to be made is beyond me, and why the cast agreed to take part in this, I will never know? The writer should be publicly flogged and Connerys effort at directing, is similar to his acting roles, poor and forgettable!!

Please watch this, if only to see for yourself how truly awful it is, script, acting, so on and so on,everything is bad bad bad, I am still in awe at how bad this is, every one involved should be ashamed with themselves !

Directed by Robin of Sherwood, a.k.a. Jason Connery (son of Sean Connery) and lasting 1hr and 30mins this film is wedged into the Action, Horror, Sci-Fi, Thriller category.

When the credits to this film were rolling I got mildly excited thinking that there were some big names in this and that it would be a decent film. Unfortunately it didn't live up to my expectations as the plot was predictable, the action was lame and the effects were cheap. Cuba Gooding Jr heads up a Special Ops team which includes Taryn Manning, Franky G, Zack Ward, Brandon Fobbs, Stephany Jacobsen and Jason London they have been hired by Dr Elissa Cardell (Valerie Cruz) who wants to rescue her father Ron Perlman who is in a top secret scientific/military bunker. The troops are your average gung-ho grunts while Cuba Gooding acts as their moral compass despite experiencing random flashbacks to a previous conflict where Ray Winstone, his commanding officer, was killed. Winstone's death is explored in flashbacks but only adds to confuse the film rather than add to it. The team enter the facility and are attacked by various mutated zombies including Bill Moseley and Weston Blakesley. As they make their way through the facility an evil presence keeps trying to stop them and separate them with a view of killing them off one by one. It transpires that the evil in the institute is a fallen and outcast angel or seraphim that appears to be frozen in ice . Despite being frozen 1000m underground it's casting an evil spell over anybody nearby and weak enough in an attempt to escape the institute. If the seraphim can get out of it's temporary cell it can endanger the entire world but first it needs a host body. Unbeknown to the special ops team from the start, Ron Perlman, whom they are trying to save is the chosen host for the fallen angel which puts an additional complication in their way, mind you, the story that Dr Cardell has weaved isn't all that true and honest anyway so an extra complication is nothing. Along the way the team encounter weird visions, random temptations and even Henry Rollins who's playing a priest.

The acting in this isn't by a long way convincing, it's actually Ron Perlman that seems the most convincing and he's only in 15% of the film, by contrast Henry Rollins character is the least believable for me. The effects in the film look like they came straight out of home production with rice crispies and corn syrup used to show an infected character. The plot could have unfolded in so many better ways but didn't, instead it went for the cheap solution of random sexual tension, lesbianism, and painful memories. The characters are trapped and brought down far too easily, for a hardened special ops team you'd at least expect them to learn from their first mistakes let alone continuously make the same mistakes. Naked woman from porn magazines don't just appear in an underground institute!! Unborn foetus' can't suddenly be 10 years old, recognisable and in a top secret research facility without some motivation or set up!!!

Despite the negatives of this film I have been watching a lot of really poor films of late, perhaps that is the reason why I'm still giving this 3 out of 10, ultimately it's bad but it's not as bad as some of the other rubbish I've seen of late. You got lucky devil's tomb.

This movie is just terrible. I don't know the name of the guy that wrote the script but my advice to him, STOP WRITING!!! This is just terrible! Not one good thing about it. He allegedly received 75.000 dollar's for this script if you can even call it that way. I don't know who gave him that money but i wouldn't take the script if he was giving it to me for free. If you want to see how bad a movie can be than see this movie, otherwise... I really don't know where to start with this comment or what to write about specifically since absolutely everything about it is bad. I just don't get it how did they get a basically good cast to star in it. Okay, Perlman will act in everything just as Cuba Gooding in the last couple of years but what was going through Ray Winstones head when he said 'yes' to this part since his career has never been better than now. I also don't know what's with the director. Do you know that Woody Allen movie 'Hollywood Ending' in which he is a director that goes blind in the middle of the shooting and stuff. Well, i honestly think that a blind guy would have been a better director than this one. This is like Edward Wood and Uwe Boll together. OK, maybe i'm overreacting a bit but this guy definitely deserves his place on their list.

---------------------------------

Avoid this movie under any cost! There is nothing good about it. Not even the basically good cast. Terrible acting all around. I won't even mention writing and directing again. SIMPLY TERRIBLE! One of the worst movies i've ever seen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

---------------------------------

There is only one more thing bothering me, I REALLY CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHO WAS SMART ENOUGH TO ''BUDGET'' THIS MOVIE(cr.p)!!!???

I think this is another case of I didn't see the movie but the trailer looks like crap as far as the reviewers go. But i'm here to tell you not to believe what they say and give this film a chance it really is surprisingly good. Now this movie as i'm sure we all know stars Cuba Gooding Jr. along with a few other big names like Ron Perlman, and Ray Winstone, then some smaller familiar faces like Jason London and Taryn Manning. And I think that right there the big cast either has many people with high expectations or wishing this was a bigger movie than it is. Now Cuba leads a group of soldiers on a rescue mission to get professor Ron Perlman out of this underground research lab during the war in Iraq (im pretty sure i don't recall hearing where they are) the effects are mostly very realistic there is not much CGI which is pretty good to see since nowadays too many horror movies are loaded with CGI. One thing you have to keep in mind is that this movie is digusting and i mean disgusting there are a few gross out scenes in this that may make it hard for you to watch, for example the characters who get infected with the black stuff get boils and its absolutely disgusting the boils puss and there's another scene that includes kissing and sucking boils so keep that in mind. Another thing here is that this movie involves religion also which both does and doesn't surprise me (cause of the name and cause well it didn't look like it at first weird i know). There is plenty of gunfire lots of blood so creepy scenes and likable characters like Click (the computer hacker probably my favorite character) I really urge you to check this one out especially if you like Resident evil 1, and Doom there is plenty to like here then. 8/10

What could go wrong in a movie starring Cuba Gooding Jr., Ron Perlman and Henry Rollins? Just about everything.

The narrating style at the start and end, like some sort of series pilot or something, was a dead give away. Both Ron Perlman and Henry Rollins just have episodic roles while Cuba plays the most unmilitary special team leader I have ever seen. And the plot is sickening in both the clichés and its stupidity.

There is only one thing worst than a bad movie: a pretentious bad movie that is boring and tries to fool you watching it through casting and other artifices of marketing. Only one thing could have saved this film: seeing Stephanie Jacobsen naked. It didn't happen.

THE DEVIL'S TOMB by SAMPSON 411 When you watch an independent film, you at least know what you're getting in for. Here, The Devil's Tomb is low budget, but most of it's success at the rental store is going to come as a result of its "name" actors and its impressive DVD art work. While it had it's moments (a rare few of them), in general, this was a movie that was destined for the Sci-Fi Channel, but was somehow rescued to the rental store shelves. 5.0/10 stars, at best (anything under 5.0 stars being totally unwatchable for me -- so this is borderline).

The story follows an elite military unit as it goes underground, into an underground laboratory to retrieve a civilian after some unknown biological/radiological/chemical disaster. What the team discovers, is that something ancient and sinister has been unleashed, and it's up to them to make certain the evil can't escape into the world (while figuring out a way to survive said evil at the same time).

To be fair, Cuba Gooding, Jr. is the MAN. His performance rocks, as does his acting. However, the film's dialogue and delivery by his fellow cast members is less than memorable. One couldn't use the "f-bomb" more than the actors do, even if being promised a billion dollars at day's end. Why do writers think that using the f-bomb someone makes for good drama? When have you ever heard two people talking in real life like this? It makes the dialogue feel forced. People don't always say things trying to sound "cool," and those who do sound like idiots (as do actors saying these things as they try to sound "cool").

Although the concept seemed new, it felt old. Actors running around in a "closed" building makes for a cheap film, but a very stale movie. Guns, blood and cheap special effects do not a good movie make (but they apparently make money, considering it was on the Blockbuster shelf as a "best seller" – go figure, eh. Just goes to show that we all have different tastes).

The visual feel of the movie is constant – too light for the actors to need their ever constant flash lights, and too clear to be anything but poorly utilized digital cameras. No grit. No texture. Not very visually compelling.

If you've seen Resident Evil, you've seen a far better version of this film. Rent it if you must, but just watch it with lowered expectations, or you'll want to gouge your eyes out. Watch it looking to just have a good two-hours free of thought or care, then you're set.
