Cardboard, dated and juvenile movie...Can't believe it's Fritz Lang., 7 April 2008
2/10
Author: Blood_Beach_1980 from Vancouver, BC, Canada

Avoid "Indian Tomb" unless you're ten or younger. This corny adventure film, although colorfully filmed on location in India, never rises to the occasion. The characters are all one-dimensional, especially the "hero" of the film. His role has barely any dialog and his action scenes are weak and unconvincing. The female lead is beautiful but looks about as "Indian" as Michelle Pfeiffer.

The main Indian characters are mostly white actors in make-up! Their long, talky scenes will tempt you to press "fast-forward". Some parts are done well, such as the snake-dance and the leper cave, but they don't make up for long stretches of cardboard performances.

The dialog the actors speak comes from a seventh-rate comic book. The head-priest character has a ridiculously dubbed voice.

Though directed in 1959 by the usually great Fritz Lang, it more resembles a simplistic, lesser adventure serial from the 1930s. Lang bombed if he thought he was producing a work for mature audiences.

I was very disappointed in this film. Suitable viewing for children and Fritz Lang completists only.
