The Tombs

Standard horror trope filled film that has enough camp elements to balance it from being too serious. Some decent acting, and mediocre script and storytelling, but the aspect of having the "actors" of a film be in the reality situation brought some interesting new element to this genre of film.

The film delivered. Entertaining. I watch films to be entertained period. Give it a chance. Just have fun!

The Tombs has the honor to be the thirtieth movie in my list of movies with the lowest score possible. It's rare that I rate a movie the lowest possible but in this case I had no choice. The Tombs is an absolute disaster, from the beginning till the end. There is absolutely nothing good about this movie. The script is unbelievably bad, a five year old couldn't make it up. The acting is from another level, the kind of level where you seriously hope for those people they didn't give up their regular job. As for the horror it's simple, there is no horror. You will have more scary moments in the haunted house at the local fair. The killer moves like a defected robot, so that one you could just outrun by hopping on one leg. Who the hell did give that guy money to make a movie? What a waste of time (mine) and money (theirs).

Absolutely pathetic excuse excuse for a film I had to turn it off after fifty minutes it was so bad I couldn't take it anymore, horrible obnoxious overly-talky characters, very cheap feel and settings, everything about it was so tacky and unappealing, the acting especially just totally kills whatever enjoyment that could be possibly be gleamed from this p**s-poor excuse for a slasher. Complete waste of time, I can say it's a film only in the sense that it is several frames illuminated in the correct order to create the illusion of motion with audio synched up to it in a presentation that you can watch, if you don't have anything more fun to do like get your wisdom teeth pulled or something, that's really all I have to say about "The Tombs" uh..just watch The Funhouse Massacre instead it's much more fun!

The Tombs (2019) follows a group of 'celebrities' that go film a publicity stunt in a haunt in the London tombs, but not everything happens to be faked. Everything in this movie just felt so unnatural and weird and I don't like saying bad things about indie movies, but there really wasn't any appeal in this film. I just really disliked this movie, there wasn't anything going for it, and the acting was too poor to look past.

The film uses some found footage type aspects throughout. The TV footage actually looked quite realistic, and was the best thing about the movie. However, the CCTV footage looked terrible and almost like an Instagram filter!

The acting was unfortunately dreadful, and there were no good performances. They had some British actors do an American accent, which made no sense due to the film being SET in the UK. Alongside this, the accents were very bad and didn't help the film. Also, the dialogue was cringeworthy and poorly written and the characters were all unlikeable.

The music and score weren't good at all, and just sounded like royalty free audio. The music also got cheesier as the film progressed. This wasn't helped by the sound design and audio techniques which were just incredibly bland and low effort.

The colour palettes were alright I guess, and the cinematography was basic. There was nothing necessarily bad to say, and nothing good to say about it either. I could see what was going on, but I feel like that's just the bare minimum.

Lastly, the pacing was messy and the film doesn't set any kind of tone or build up any atmosphere. There was no clear pacing and I was just waiting for it to end! It started off with a cheesy opening, and just got incredibly comically bad and funny in an unintentional way. The ending was equally as silly and very cliché.
