HP Lovecrafts's The Tomb (2007) was one of the 10 plus movies that were directed by Ulli Lommel and were shot circa 2005-2006. The film was originally known as HP Lovecraft's Dreams of the Witch-house, then The Witch-house. He mentions this several times in audio commentaries for BTK and Green River Killer. The movie starts off as a Saw knock-off but it morphs into something weird and interesting.
The movie begins with two people who are dumped into a warehouse being taunted by some unknown figure. Why or how they got maimed and into their predicaments is slowly revealed as the movie progresses. The few links to Lovecraft are names of characters from his stories and poetry. This nut job who trapped them holds some severe grudges against the two as they try to find a way out. Several coffins and a few other "victims" are scattered around. Only one can leave and what "prize" will the winner receive for surviving the horror of THE TOMB!
"Eight nails who fails..."
I was impressed by his one because it actually tells a complete story and the recycled footage is minimal. Keep in mind that this is an Ulli Lommel film and if you are not a fan of his work then you'll be disappointed. But if you are in on the joke and like his movies then you'll want to watch this one.
