Two estranged sisters are forced to join together and rob a bank to save their brother. The planning complete, they are ready for anything. Except maybe a haunted bank vault.
James Franco (Ed), Scott Haze (Michael), Taryn Manning (Vee), Francesca Eastwood (Leah), Q'orianka Kilcher (Susan), Jeff Gum (Aiken), Clifton Collins Jr. (Det. Iger), Keith Loneker (Cyrus), Jill Clements (Mary).
The Vault begins with the team in the bank and beginning their robbery. But it doesn't take long before things start getting strange, and stop making sense. As the robbery goes a bit wonky, the heist team begins to realize something isn't quite right with this bank. The remainder of the film is an unusual mix of crime, drama, and horror that is fairly interesting.
Manning and Eastwood really carried this one. Both did nicely and appeared to work well together. Franco was decent in a smaller role. Haze, Collins, Kilcher and the rest were solid and enjoyable.
Camera work, sets, and backgrounds were fairly well done for the most part. The layout of the bank was never laid out well and darker scenes in the basement were difficult. Action scenes and horror were well done with some lovely gore. Dialogue was okay but could have easily explained much more behind the plot. Sound and soundtrack are okay.
All in all, The Vault is an entertaining horror flick with a fairly unusual plot that is both interesting and entertaining. What it doesn't have is a lot of energy or character investment. Those who enjoy a solid horror flick with some action should enjoy this one.
