The Crypt

this is the lowest rating anyone can give to the movie. believe me we may have seen far better scary, sexy and sensible low budget movies than this. well here is the plot (if you like to call it so) bunch of crooked amateurs crawl into a crypt which is haunted!!! by the spirits!!!!! every one gets killed as expected. rest is with held for my own reason. here is a glimpse of some sensible scenes from the movie.

trapped inside the 80 years old crypt hero finds a manhole with handle, the gutter is powered by flashy lights, two inter connected rooms in the same level - one is filled with sky high water and the other has water just above your neck, there are doors locked with the keys kept upon it... the ghosts looks scared not the actors, quite possibly due their so called acting??? casting is awfully horribly. see this movie at your own risk. as the movie tagline rightly says Some things are better left buried... its quite true for this movie.

A girl and her ex-con boyfriend are convinced to join a group of thieves planning to break into a sealed Depression-era crypt and loot the bodies of their jewelry. However the crypt just might be haunted...

There's nothing spectacular about this low-budget horror film, but it somehow ends up being a lot more entertaining than it has any right to be. The plot is incredibly light for its hour and twenty minute running time, so there are an excessive amount of "girls crawling through crypt corridor" scenes. The director doesn't skip ahead, even when the thieves are backtracking through areas we've already seen, and those sequences can get dull. (Short on plot though it is, I did notice at least one plot hole.) If you like cleavage, however, plenty is on display. A bit more cleavage than gore, perhaps unfortunately.

The acting isn't as bad as a previous comment would have you believe. Sarah Oh (PJ) and Abra May (Gina) are the standouts and luckily it's them who get the most screen time. Once the girls get into the crypt and start looking scared, there are no line deliveries bad enough to make you roll your eyes.

The sets are pretty incredible, if obviously too new to be built during the Great Depression, and unlike most low budget films they are actually lit very well. In fact sometimes the crypt corridors are a bit too bright - I think a little bit of darkness might have made for a scarier mood.

You've seen the flickering ghosts here in a billion other movies, so don't expect to have any nightmares after watching The Crypt, unless perhaps you're claustrophobic.

And yes, there is a brief topless shot of the beautiful Sarah Oh, which for some might make this rental worth catching all by itself.

What a film. Tried to be the next "Descent", but only made me want to cry. It was a confused mishmash of a story and even worse editing. First it was just a haunted crypt, then the undead appear ... and why exactly were people buried there in the first place? And the gang of thieves, they're very unbelievable characters. Like who in her right mind would go out on a 'job' while her younger brother lies dead in the back of a car? And the situation is so contrived, even their get-ups from the shirt and the shorts, down to the belt) are exactly the same! The film was directed by a certain Craig McMahon; the way it went it could easily have been directed by the late Ed McMahon ... it was so hilariously bad. Not even Sarah Oh's brief nude scene could save this film.

I really feel sorry that i have watched this "movie". I do not remember if i saw something so terrible ever before. Those kids know f..k about acting and whole storyline is missing. The only positive thing about this film is that you can see Asian girl tits for a little while. When her boyfriend is released from prison it makes you wonder, do they have such good barbers in jail ???? And what happened to that girl which has been shot in car, or why are they all dressed like analogy of Lara Croft from Tomb Raider when they are going in to the crypt ? Another thing "Ghosts". Jeez they are so damn lazy, doing nothing only standing around and pawing females like a bunch of German tourist on trip in Czech. This is the most worse parody of movie i have ever seen so far and it is gonna be very hard to beat this feeling with another movie. DO NOT WATCH THIS if you want to stay sane.

If you can't afford decent effects, at least have a decent script. If you can't have a decent script, have people who know how to act. If you can't have people who know how to act, you end up with The Crypt.

To say that this movie was uninspired would be a massive overstatement.

So poorly crafted and lacking in quality, that it's not even in the so-bad-it's-good category.

The movie starts with a stupid, over-acting, over-emoting, boggle-eyed grave robber doing his thing and paying the price. This is meant to be the hook that catches our interest, but all I felt was a sense of foreboding at how tedious the scene was.

Sadly, the movie went downhill from there. I'm not even going to waste time on further analysis.

Appalling. Don't waste 5 seconds on it.
