Research Paper On The Vault

Improved Essays
I was actually starting to really get into the idea of spending a month reviewing exclusively films from Full Moon Entertainment, then The Vault came down like a hammer smashing that cozy idea. I don't know why I was expecting more out of The Vault than what got delivered. It's not that I set my standards all the high, I think the issue is that the Vault is a genuine bad movie. Possibly the worst I've seen to date and that's including Bitten.

Also in tow is the bus driver (James Black), who chooses to not go inside the creepy abandoned school and stay with the bus. Which in the end doesn't work out for him as he becomes the fist of the ghosts victims, which creates a couple of plot holes. The Vault spends its sweet time meandering around and trying to pass off exposition dumps as character development before Desarey and Willie open up the titular Vault and releasing an evil spirit. The spirit then goes

However, not only is the island well known as the prison, but it was much more than a prison going back in time.…

    How many prisoners escaped the Alcatraz Prison on Alcatraz Island during its nearly 30 years of service? If you ask the government, they will tell you that nobody ever escaped from Alcatraz.
