In the begginig it keeps you in suspense when a security guard knows about something evil is trapped behind a wall which noises comes out.People come to this building that's abandoned and one of them release this evil spirit and starts killing.Some scenes with some special effects are not that bad.The problem with this movie when the evil spirit gets in a form of a person,he's not scary at all.I really didn't enjoy it that much,doesn't mean it's that bad,i seen worst.Probally it's a movie you want to see one time and never again.

Well, this one isn't as horrible as Horrorvision, but it sure is close! Nothing works in this film. The look is very low budget, which is the case, but there are many ways to make it look better; the acting isn't very good, the story is much too simple, and much too boring, some scenes defy reason, I could go on for days. I want to like Full Moon films, but I just can't. The film, it looks as tho they spent exactly one day on the script, one day on filming, and one day on editing..maybe even less. Black is a first time director, I think, and you can tell...he worries less about storytelling, and more about style, and using cool tricks that do nothing but take away from the plot. The scenes are too drawn out, and there is very little suspense. Some of the acting is just plain bad, some is decent at best.

Another problem with this movie is the back story with the slave trade. I don't know a lot about the slave trade, but I'm gonna take a wild guess and say, despite what the movie claims, they never delivered slaves from Africa to California. That fact took away from the seriousness, then you have this horrible guard character who goes on and on about the history of the place, despite the fact that there's an evil spirit loose in the building. I could go on for a while, but I won't. This movie is just bad...Full Moon productions is just bad, and it's a shame, because I think they could go a lot better.

Cant any one listen in this movie. From the beginning a child who is disrespectful is told to leave and goes on like nothing happens. Then hiss brain gets blown open. Even that looked like jam on his head or some thing. then you get a bunch of purple smoke on the screen. As I told my dog some things are to bizare even for me. But by the end of the movie only about three people are left to tell the tale of the Vault the enslaved the souls of mankind. I am guessing this was a B rated movie. It stole lines from other movies, and used few props.

This movie was showing on my cable company's video on demand and the plot summary enticed me and my friends into paying $3.95 to rent it. It was not worth it!

The acting is slightly above par for movies of this budget and production level, but the ridiculous script and complete lack of scary scenes left much to be desired.

Highlights: one of the characters gets his head cut in half by a falling piece of glass, and some of the scenes with the security guard are slightly spooky.

Lowlights: the ridiculous death of the bus driver, the pitiful "romantic interest", and the not-very-scary "red eyed ghost" character.

There is not even a salvageable "bad movie night" movie from this one, it's just lame.

THE VAULT is bad. That's all there is to it. The script is ridiculous; the effects laughable; the performances awful. Full Moon should be ashamed of this howler. And I have to say that someone needs to tell actress Shani Pride that the proper pronunciation of "What's with you" is not "What's witchoo?". A real loser.

This movie has a great concept, great acting, and overall great production value despite its low budget. Aspiring low budget moviemakers should pay attention to works like this from Full Moon and others.
