MCT:July 8, 2008The Keep book was an excellent read. As I read that book I could picture it as a movie. But, this movie missed the boat completely. I wouldn't pay the money of a rental to see it.
-
MCT:June 10, 2008I wish I could watch every movie ever made but I sadly don't have the time. I'm not interested in this movie because I don't think I'll like it or don't know enough about it to think I might like it. I may still end up seeing it some day though.

MCT:May 15, 2008I don't want to know what drugs Michael Mann was on, this is probably my favourite Michael Mann films because it's totally bizarre, it's so unintentually funny, Gabriel Byrne's hair is priceless (or is it a wig), it has those "groundbreaking" special effects and unless most Michael Mann films it's short
-
MCT:April 28, 2008A great premise to the movie... Nazi's getting killed of by an unknown evil.. but im not to sure about the movies cut. There are some real bad continuation problems. I heard they cut almost an hour out of the film. Id like Michae Mann (the director) to release a special edition on DVD.

MCT:April 5, 2008one opf teh great horror movies - slight of camera and in hindsight - exceptional cast - with tangerine dream musuc - was atmopspheric to another level. must watch again to see if it has that gravitas or was just a smokin phase film angle? and yet...

MCT:November 16, 2007This film just amazed me from start to end. great cast/direction and great sfx for the time. The golum type creature (no not the one from lord of the rings!) had me transfixed to the screen. I only wish it would have a DVD or even better a blue-ray/hd release so i could watch it in high quality. The only downside is that it could do with cleaning up some of the scenes & the sound. but even with these problems it didnt detract from a great movie experience. It does have it's eighties moments but if you think tangerine dream made the score for this then the 80s wasnt so bad? If there exists a 3hour cut of this film i'd bloody kill to see it! they don't make horror films like this anymore! shame...

WWII Meets Hell. THE KEEP tanked when it got out and received a lot of bad reviews. It's not perfect, but I actually like it for all it's worth. It definitely has a strange atmosphere (thanks to the TD score once again) and some very poetic moments. I heard that Mann didn't have final cut on this and that a lot of footage was cut out at the editing table before the release. Since it's not out on DVD yet, maybe a Director's Cut would help this movie receiving a better reception from a new audience.

Strange, creepy, and weird. I love Scott Glenn. The "love" scene with Scott Glenn was magical. Also a Jürgen Prochnow fan. Gabriel Byrne was great as an SS Officer.

MCT:August 16, 2007This is a pretty odd film. I'm not exactly sure what made someone think Michael Mann would be a good choice to adapt F. Paul Wilson's novel. He's clearly out of his element here. He manages a well-done introductory scene, but it all goes downhill from there. The score by Tangerine Dream has to be one of the worst aspects of the whole thing. I must admit, though, that I still find the movie somewhat fascinating in a similar way to David Lynch's Dune (not that the movies are alike). I hope someone attempts another adaptations, as it's one of my favorite books.

I like this movie. And you can see some of Michael Mann's visuals that he would use in later films. Its the basic good versus evil. The Book, by F. Paul Wilson is awesome! And this version steers away from that, but I view this on its own, kinda like The Shining.

A little seen film and in some cases this is probably a good thing, as it shows up an early and poor screen outing for the usually superb Ian McKellen. Still I like the concept though I haven?t read the book (which explains the incoherence of the film) it has some Nazi?s, a rubbish monster man suit and some great music from Tangerine Dream.

Like Dune, this is a movie that is much reviled by fans of the book. While the book is one of the creepiest things I've ever read, I also love the movie. Unfortunately, studio intereference made the movie rather impossible to follow unless you've read the book, but the movie is gorgeously filmed. Hopefully, Michael Mann and Paramount can someday get together and fix this movie up (ala Star Trek 1).
-
MCT:April 11, 2007Despite a reasonably cool concept, this early effort from Michael Mann descends sharply into incoherence, before ending with a light and laser show that robs the film of all pretense of horror.

Cool.sum Whermacht Soldiers go to sort out sum some scum in romania-but accedently release a Demon from its Prison.I highly recomend this film.It is HIGHLY underated!.
-
MCT:March 2, 2007The absolute worst film I have ever seen. Long, dim, dulll, depressing, fruity, smelly, rubbery, rancid. No chance is missed to get something wrong. Even the usually brilliant Sir Ian stinks in it! How can someone cause that? The original author thought this film so bad, he wrote a short story in which he killed the director for raping his vision, and refered to the monster as "the Incredible Hulk in drag". Poetic words to be wasted on such a turd as this. If anyone ever tells you 'The Keep' is underrated, do all involved a favor and slap them hard for me.

good cinematography, slow methodic action and a riveting soundtrack by Tangerine Dream but that's it nothing else !

The great Michael Mann's first ever film is a complete, utter disaster of a horror film that doesn't make any sense whatsoever. While the cinematograpy is beautiful but the all-star cast is wasted and the script hollow and unscary. Not worth watching at all.

I liked this movie, in part because of my religious background (the Cross means nothing)I love Mann's direction, as I am a huge Miami Vice fan.
The "love" scene with Scott Glenn was magical. Also a Jürgen Prochnow fan. It still thrills me to this day!posted 543 days ago
