There are some extremely negative reviews here, leading me to wonder what the deal is. Before I read these negative reviews I had pre-ordered this film from Amazon based on the actors in it that I like, (and the trailer looked interesting). Then the decision, to keep it, or send it back? I kept it. Watched it last night. Is it all that bad? Well, here's the deal, my opinion. The filming is fine, decent enough, does not look like any sort of a pathetic home movie or have a sci-fi channel look. The acting is fine, particularly from the seasoned actors (some of the line though are pretty throw away). The sets, music, etc., are all decent. Even the directing is decent. The material, on the other hand, leaves something to be desired. This is nothing we have not seen elsewhere, and done better (Doom, Resident Evil). I heard a bit of the audio commentary of the film by the director and Cuba, and the director mentions he was inspired by Carpenter's THE THING, and ALIEN. Well, those (incredible) films it's certainly not. But it is not really trying to be them either. It has it's own take on things I suppose. But it just comes off as a cheap DOOM, or Resident Evil, with elements of the PROPHECY films series. But the name itself tells you pretty much what it's about, "THE DEVIL'S TOMB". And that's where it gets old, the use of the same old tired and burned out religious themes. One sort of gets the feeling in a few places that one is looking at a pathetic attempt at Xtian Horror that some people got their hands on and made better out of it than it deserves. I'm very anti- religious, but it's theme's aren't all that distracting. It's just that it isn't all that great a film either. Some of the characters are interesting, but it all comes off as something retreading something else that has been done better before. But if you want to see some people creep around in a dark underground labyrinth, see some mild gore, and whatnot, then it isn't all that terrible. Certainly not worth the price they are charging currently, but if you see it in a discount bin somewhere later on, you might give it a shot. There are plenty of better films of this nature out there though and if you don't own them, you would certainly be better of purchasing them first, or instead.
