Tomb, The (2007)
* (out of 4)
Another direct to DVD film from director Ulli Lommel, this one being credited to H.P. Lovecraft but in reality this is a major rip of the Saw films. A group of people are kidnapped and held hostage by a sadistic maniac who wants them to think about their lives as he watches and tortures them. Sound familiar? Me giving this one star is probably being way too nice but I gotta admit that the film kept me interested from one standpoint. That standpoint is me being a fan of Saw so I was constantly entertained by how the director would rip that series off. Had Lionsgate not released both films then I'm sure they would have had a major lawsuit against this movie. The performances are all bad, the story is none and the special effects are cheap. Lommel actually has more energy here than in previous works but that still doesn't equal a good movie.
