Awful, ethnically/racially stereotypical, the Crypt Keeper in drag, boring, formulaic, and lifeless. This film doesn't deliver zombieism, it gives the viewer insomnia and severe boredom. Pass this one up, it's a disgrace to the Tales From the Crypt series of the 80's and 90's. Blah! Yawn... zzzzzzzz.

This movie starts off really well but becomes repetitious in the middle, with a nice conclusion. They could have cut about 20 minutes out of the middle without loss. Another plus is the extremely attractive/scantily attired Jennifer Grey and her oft-naked sidekick in this movie. The Crypt-keeper intro and closing scenes are dumb. There are a few mistakes also; watch the bat scene and you'll see it's like a rewind. Very odd. The real flaw to the film is the absurd viral angle. I don't want to be a spoiler so I'll just say it's development and Grey's antidote are amazing, and implausible. So, logic isn't the film's main selling point, but it's well worth a rental. BTW, if you like this, try Skeleton Key.

Imagine seeing the old Dracula or Frankenstein story for the 1000th time in which the filmmakers made absolutely no effort to make it slightly different and interesting. Thats this movie except its the zombie/voodoo story with hot blooded horny locals. The one plus is its not an ultra low budget camcorder special, so its watchable as long a you want to waste an hour and a half. Its basically a Tales of the Crypt half hour type rush job but it stretched out to a full length movie.
