THE KEEP

Who is this confused individual from Florida calling this turkey a masterpiece? Maybe the "director" lives in Florida? This film is a prime candidate for Mystery Science Theatre. Laughable on all aspects, it can only be called a modern day Ed Wood Film. The music score takes it down even more notches.

This item seems to be an attempt to use the title of "The Keep", a 1983 movie with Scott Glenn, directed by Michael Mann, to mislead you into buying this excruciatingly bad film. "The Keep", sad to say, was only released on VHS and is very rare. This is not it. Also beware of sites claiming to have "The Keep", on DVD. There was never an official release of "The Keep", on DVD. The DVD's being offered are all pirate copies and VERY badly done, not to mention illegal. I just threw one away (I had hoped it was the real thing). Alas, for some reason "The Keep", despite its cult status, has never been released in any other format than VHS and maybe BetaMax. I sure do wish it would happen since thousands of lesser films are on DVD, but not this one. Someone is certainly a fool not to do so.

I was impressed with the dimension the director gave to this film as well as the 'edge of your seat' intrigue. A clearly well researched masterpiece! I was most impressed with the budget stipulations of the movie that were so honestly conveyed by the director in his commentary. How brilliant to achieve the effects, and the intensity so successfully portrayed. I foresee many great things to come from this director.
