Empire | ‘The Vault’ Review
Empire
It used to be a movie convention that supernatural horror films would transform into crime movies in the final reel. As in Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, any ghosts, monsters or zombies would turn out to be gangsters or smugglers in disguise and all the spooky stuff written off as trickery. That sub-genre has faded, but its mirror image has been surprisingly busy since From Dusk Till Dawn as crime movies turn into horror films, with hard-boiled crooks and cops going about their everyday business of busting bad guys only to find that they’re up against something supernatural they didn’t prepare for.
