What would you get if you took John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness, set it underground, changed the characters from students to soldiers, and really pumped up the Christian portion? You get the Devil's Tomb. I just caught it as a free streaming film. It wasn't bad, but I certainly had hoped for more.
There is a great cast in this film, but almost all of them seem to have forgotten how to act. Cuba Gooding Jr is wooden and unbelievable (and the opening "badass" voice-over is pretty hilarious in his high tenor voice). Henry Rollins can do many things, but portray a priest is not any of them. You just want him to buy it and get off screen.
Of all of them, Ron Pearlman shines, stealing the scenes (to few) that he is in.
Seriously though, if you want to see a more enjoyable version of this film? Watch John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness.
Both movies contain: References to Satan as the villain A strange cult of possessed followers Minions of the villain being taken over through gushing mouth fluids
PoD has Alice Cooper DT has Ron Perlman (who gets more screen time than Alice Cooper did).
score 4/10
