Highly Overrated But Still Good

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

If you were a child of the 70s you were probably a teen in the 80s, and had a veritable unlimited selection of midrange B-movie horror and thrillers at your disposal. If you were lucky your family had a VCR and you could rent awesome classics like "Phantasm" or "Reanimator" to watch late at night with your friends. This is like those movies except that the editing was easier to do with the better equipment we have today.Judging solely against the B-movie spectrum: great cast, story, and effects. Totally worth the watch if this your thing; however, if you are expecting Oscar quality just because you see James Franco's name on it just stop right there and go watch that movie where he's bad at rock climbing. Not *all* movies want or strive to be big frickin' Festival winners, darling.... !

WHAT?!? This movie was awesome! It was super old school scary movie. It had suspense, gore and supernatural elements. I jumped a bit and thought I had it figured out, but I didn't and the end was thrilling and nail biting.

This will be a short review. Just like the last 90 minutes.I had a lot of fun with this. This is a straight B-horror movie. That's what it sets out to be and accomplishes it. Good cast, good scenario, and good ideas.It's not going to be a respected 'film' by any means. That's not what it's supposed to be. Think 'Belko Experiment' or 'Man vs'. The cinematography was on par, the acting was solid, and it had a great original idea.If you want a 90 min, B-horror movie. 100% yes.I liked it very much and you will too.

So what if it's a little...check that...a LOT, incoherent. "The Vault" serves it's purpose as a mid-level bank heist horror flick chock-full of gross-out images, zombies and an apparently unkillable bogeyman.What more could you possibly want? Okay, except maybe the coherence thing.
