Poor "Descent" Imitation

What a film. Tried to be the next "Descent", but only made me want to cry. It was a confused mishmash of a story and even worse editing. First it was just a haunted crypt, then the undead appear ... and why exactly were people buried there in the first place? And the gang of thieves, they're very unbelievable characters. Like who in her right mind would go out on a 'job' while her younger brother lies dead in the back of a car? And the situation is so contrived, even their get-ups from the shirt and the shorts, down to the belt) are exactly the same! The film was directed by a certain Craig McMahon; the way it went it could easily have been directed by the late Ed McMahon ... it was so hilariously bad. Not even Sarah Oh's brief nude scene could save this film.
