One of the worst movies I've ever seen

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

THE TOMB is an erstwhile modern-day adaptation of the Edgar Allan Poe horror story THE TOMB OF LIGEIA, adapted so memorably for the screen by Roger Corman and starring Vincent Price back in 1964. Sadly, this low budget, shot-on-the-cheap-in-Crimea version of the story is a complete dud.There's barely any link to the original story here, aside from a ghostly woman and a doomed romance. Otherwise it's a typical indie-looking cheap horror flick: colour filters, flashbacks, softcore sex scenes, the odd snippet of gore here and there. The script is abysmal - sad given the screenwriter also wrote THE CROW back in the day - and the director never worked on anything else. That hardly comes as a surprise.All that THE TOMB does do well is waste the talents of various cast members. Wes Bentley is the lead but can do nothing with such a dull character, while the likes of Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, Michael Madsen, and Eric Roberts pop up in various supporting roles or cameos. They're not worth tuning in for either.

this was a good movie, but had a few minor problems, one that it should have had a little better story line and two which is the most important it needed to show some raw nude action with Sofya Skya, but other then that it was a good movie but i have seen much better. and also it could have a little better acting but as always Sofya Skya remains hot as hell, but Eric Roberts did some what of a shitty role. could also be looked as a slap in the balls to Edgar Allen Poe, and the caretaker's niece needs to learn to speak Russian but then that is just a opinion by someone who is a perfectionist "me" and also i found the that it wasn't really fallowing the original "The Tomb of Ligeia"

"We will never have to pay that price. We can live forever."I don't know why I watch movies like these. They're clearly going to be awful. All the reviews I read further reinforced the fact that it was going to be awful. But, I still felt compelled to see it, anyway. And yep, it was awful.The problems were myriad. The scares and horror aspect of The Tomb were surpassed by most of The Goosebumps books I read as a kid. The story was silly and bland. The attempt to appeal to the audience with sex fell flat with scenes that would hardly earn a PG-13 rating and had no chemistry between the participants.The absolute worst things about The Tomb, though were the acting and the script. The entire cast was uniformly wretched, especially Wes Bentley and Sofya Skya. Sofya is certainly a very beautiful woman, but she would be wise to reconsider this whole "actress" thing. And Bentley came close to achieving the feat of making me never want to see another movie that he's in, ever. As for the script, describing it as "amateur" would be an insult to everyone who has ever been an amateur at anything in the history of the world. The dialogue is abysmal, and I can't imagine that anyone spent more than a few hours writing this.I don't know what kind of dire financial situations are responsible for Eric Roberts and Michael Madsen being in this dreck, but I'm willing to offer money out of my own pockets to help them never have to be in anything this terrible, again. The only possible entertainment to be gained from The Tomb is from making fun of it. It's hilariously bad, but still too boring for me to recommend even for a laugh with your friends.

I don't know what the heck that was, or why people need to rip off Edgar Allen Poe for ideas, other than he's in the Public Domain and won't ask for a royalty! The plot, which kind of echoes Poe, is that an English professor is enticed from his engagement to a singer to a sultry Goth babe from Russia, and is convinced to use his immense wealth to rebuy her Russian estate while she looks for ways to extend her mortality through magic and science. What we get is a confused mess of body swaps and the kings of Direct to DVD, Michael Madsen and Eric Roberts, playing largely unnecessary supporting characters.Other than that, some parts of the film look quite good for a low-budget made in Eastern Europe mess...
