  A VERY GOOD LOW BUDGET HORROR MOVIE
  
  Hey no video stores here in NY by me carried it but I love Horror. What I got was was a Very Good Horror film. The Making off was very interesting, where and how it was filmed. What I would say you get was a low budget Descent type Horror film. Look I have seen them all Big Budget , No Budget, lousing acting. But I have to say w/o giving too much away I think you will be Pleasantly surprised.

  Reviews are simply people's personal opinions, I thought this movie was great! I saw this movie with my teen daughter and her friend's. It makes me laugh and I have to wonder these people that bash movies on here have a "real" job or not!! Get a life! It's 1 1/2 hours of fun entertainment! The scares and ghouls in this movie had us girls screaming a few times! LOL Very fun!!

  Entertaining
  
  I am beginning to realize how reviews on movies has no effect on my choices any more and this movie the Crypt is a great example of why. The trailer looked interesting enough to me and I was surprised to find it is a movie that has a style of its own. The creatures were very cool but yet creepy mindless killers that had one thing in common, to protect their stuff. The acting was actually pretty good except for one of the group members, but that character was offed early on with bittersweet keen sense of humor. I found myself laughing when I should be feeling sorry for the unfortunate soul. That's when I understood the director's voice. I never listen to commentaries on DVD's but this one was actually as interesting as the movie. I rented then bought the movie.

  Decent Concept, Terrible Acting
  
  If possible, I'd give this a 1.5 star rating. In short, a group of socially deviant 20-somethings decide to break into an old crypt and rob graves, only to find the crypt inhabited by ghost-ish creatures intent on not letting them make off with the loot. On the good side, the production values are surprisingly good. This isn't quite a micro-budget film, but it definitely is low budget. Annoyingly, they used a camera that isn't well adapted to low light conditions, so the dark scenes have lots of digital artifacts that don't look so nice on a HDTV. But aside from the camera quality, the production values are surprisingly good; good camera work and good sets make for a movie that seems larger budget than it actually is. However, the film really breaks down on the acting and script. The opening scene is good - it drew me in, did a good job of setting the mood and future expectations, etc. From there out, though, it grinds to a halt. The story fails to develop the grave robbing team as a group of individuals who would actually be inclined to rob a grave. There's a lead guy on the team who gets released from jail in an early scene, and he gets paired with a group of females who are much more valley girl (think Clueless) than hard core. They're just not believable at all. Then there's the actual story of them robbing graves. Obviously there are ghosts involved, and that is perhaps the biggest problem with the film. The film seems to reject modern notions of computer graphics and opts instead for very mediocre makeup. The ghosts look ridiculous, period. All in all, I very hesitatingly might consider recommending a rental if you're really in the mood for a low budget horror-ish flick, but certainly not a purchase.
