Dollar Binema – Episode 07 – The Devil’s Tomb

Welcome to Hell! In this episode we watch the 2009 horror film “The Devil’s Tomb”, a Cuba Gooding Jr. direct to video movie, from a string of direct to video releases for him that year. The movie also stars Henry Rollins (Black Flag) playing a confused priest, Ron Perlman pretty much as himself, and Taryn Manning (Orange Is the New Black) as one of the film’s antagonists. We are again recording over a conference line due to ongoing COVID concerns, and have tried to not fall down the IMDB hole; hopefully avoiding any more passive aggressive emails from our producer Dick Cameron.

This movie is not good to say the least, but is nowhere near the worst movie we have watched thus far. There are so many action/horror movie tropes that the script could have been completely written using predictive typing, and half the cast look like they are just doing this for the rent money. It was made for 10 million dollars over the course of 2 months and it definitely shows, coming off like a SYFY original movie with less sharks and more demon pustules. While the movie does not lend itself to thought or discussion afterwards, we did come to the conclusion that it lends itself to good drinking game fodder.

Drinking Games:

– Drink whenever Cuba Gooding Jr. has a flashback.
– Drink whenever the hacker character Click, gets some sort of bodily fluid on his face.
– Drink whenever a member of the team splits off from the rest by themselves.
– Drink whenever a gun is fired, chug your drink through any auto-fire scenes. (warning: you will be drinking a lot)
