Contracted to rescue a scientist (Perlman) who was trapped under the Middle East desert while researching a profound archaeological discovery, fearless war veteran Mack (Gooding, Jr.) and his squad of elite U.S. mercenaries descend far beneath the surface with no clue of the horrors that await them below. Deep beneath these desert sands dwells a thousand year old secret that's not of this earth. Guided by a mysterious priest (Henry Rollins), Mack and his team discover that some secrets are best left buried when they reach the underground laboratory and all hell breaks loose. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Steve "Uncle Creepy" Barton, Dread Central
The Devil's Tomb makes for passable entertainment assuming you aren't completely put off by the predictable plot machinations.

David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews
An unusually interminable experience virtually from start to finish...
