Nazis, a Jewish doctor, his daughter, and a stranger with glowing eyes converge upon a fortress inside the Carpathian mountains where a supernatural creature is trying to escape. The concept, combined with Michael Mann’s stylish direction and an impressive cast that includes Scott Glenn, Ian McKellen, Gabriel Byrne, Robert Prosky, and Jurgen Prochnow, sounds like it could be the recipe for a cool, quirky action/effects piece. Unfortunately, The Keep is a misfire. The cinematography and sets are beautiful, and Mann does a great job brewing up some spooky atmosphere. But the film moves at a tediously slow pace and none of the characters make the journey worth your while. Tangerine Dream’s sleep-inducing score works against the picture, making the 90-minute movie feel even longer than it is.
