The Tomb

I have to say this is the worst movie I've ever seen. Im in the military and we watched a lot of movies in IRAQ. I watched some pretty dumb stuff over there, but this movie by far is the worse my eyes have ever seen. The movie looks like it was shot with a personal camcorder. The sound is horrible, and it is not on key at times. To all out there who thinks about renting this movie, think again and don't make the mistake I made. I know you may think that not all reviews are the same and not everyone thinks the same about movies but believe me this movie is definitely dumb. Instead of renting this movie, send me the money. Afterall, you are going to waste money anyways, so you should at least send it too me and let me enjoy it.

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.

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.

I never thought that I could see a horrible movie until i saw this one.

Let me first start off by saying that the cover art is false advertising and is nothing compared to the movie. The cover actually looks half decent compared to the actual movie. The back cover shows a couple of tombs lying on the floor in a warehouse, with chains hanging from the ceiling. Going into the movie, I was expecting some tombs, a warehouse, and some chains. What I got was newly furnished inexpensive tombs (not scary), a back of a grocery market, and assorted objects that are supposed to scare us.

This movie is horrible. The camera work looks like a student from high school was assigned a film directing project. The props look like they were bought at a dollar store (ripped off baby doll heads are NOT scary anymore). The sound was just really bad and I had to put subtitles just to understand what they were saying. I have never seen such bad camera-work. Let's just say that there is a actor FAKE JOGGING. He is not even trying to look as if he was jogging, he is just simply FAKE Jogging. Just plain out BAD! I hate that I actually watched this film. I was so annoyed and irritated that I felt like I was going to die after watching this movie.

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.
