Negative Positive
Title: Jaw-droppingly overrated
Review: About as scary as He-man fighting Skeletor, but not nearly as cool. Picked it up because it was recommended by an Amazon reviewer that liked it better than "The Terror" by Dan Simmons. Could not have been more disappointed. "The Keep"'s premise is interesting. There are Nazis and something like a vampire. Sparks should fly but they absolutely do not. The writing is crap. There is no tension, no dread, no atmosphere. The characters are two-dimensional. The love story makes the Darth Vader-Princess Amidala romance in the recent Star Wars movies look sophisticated. The story itself is laughable; trite, boring and, most damning, not the least bit scary. How can so many people be so wrong? 5 stars? Amazon reviewers, j'accuse.
