Kim Newman Empire Magazine Though it could do with being weirder and wilder, this high-concept mash-up - what if crooks robbed a haunted bank? - features fine work from a brace of rising stars. Rated: 3/5 Sep 11, 2017 Full Review Simran Hans Observer (UK) There's little to like in this undercooked "horror" about three siblings who stage a bank heist and run into trouble when they encounter a haunted vault. Rated: 1/5 Sep 10, 2017 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian There's a reasonable premise to this horror-thriller, but also something straight-to-rental about the look and feel of the whole thing. Rated: 2/5 Sep 8, 2017 Full Review Emma Wolfe SpookyAstronauts Extremely predictable... there is something that happens that it just gives it everything away very easily. Rated: 4/10 Apr 16, 2021 Full Review Jordy Sirkin Jordy Reviews It Even when the plot finds itself predictable at times, and not quite jump-out-of-your-seat horrifying, it's still a solid thriller. Rated: 3/5 Jan 2, 2021 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Not much makes sense in this haphazardly plotted dud. Rated: 1.5/4 Mar 30, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Jeremy A Crooks rob a haunted bank. That's it. And it's not very entertaining. The ending was kind of redeeming. 2.5* Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/04/24 Full Review andrea c Film di azione veramente di difficile comprensione; sicuramente non manca di originalità e di coraggio, ma non si può dire essere esente da imperfezioni. La sceneggiatura, dopo un inizio piuttosto classico di rapina, seppure non eseguito molto bene, finisce per spostarsi piuttosto lentamente in una prima parte e più velocemente nel finale verso una trama legata al sovrannaturale. I personaggi sono abbastanza interessanti ma non vengono approfonditi a sufficienza, sia a causa del loro numero che a causa del troppo tempo lasciato a dialoghi lenti e poco significativi. Il finale non è molto chiaro sebbene sia parecchio originale, James Franco personaggio più enigmatico che però non offre la dovuta profondità, anzi si limita alla stessa espressione in quasi tutte le scene. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/30/24 Full Review Shanaine G Not sure why this movie has such low ratings. It had me on the edge of my seat. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/18/23 Full Review kevin c I'm a big fan of heist movies and this has the beginnings of a pretty good heist movie as an eclectic gang of criminals begins a daring bank robbery. Then it kind of switches genres into a bit of a supernatural horror film. While I kind of liked the strangeness of the left turn, it just didn't work that well as a hybrid, and just kind of made the heist part fall flat. James Franco is in this, but seems like more could have been done with him. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member The Vault actually was a decent movie. The story had it's downfall with the ending but, I liked what the writers where going with a cursed bank and an employee who really wasn't there. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/22/20 Full Review Audience Member The Vault is an absurdly cheap and badly made movie by a no-skill crew that exists in the B-movie netherworld between expensive and well-produced quality with themes and hidden meanings and cheap, simple, fun, entertaining schlock with some clever ideas behind it. The Vault it painfully neither. It is part bad premise for a Saw movie, part good idea for a From Dusk Till Dawn twist but in a bank robbery scenario. At worst; it squanders a great premise, or at least a great set-up, and a great one-location horror movie idea and makes something completely shapeless and unintriguing and unscary with an amateurish almost parody-like, laugh-out-loud third act. However at best; it shows the Eastwood daughter as a pretty decent badass and carries rich spinoff potential for Franco's moustache. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
