The movie in and off itself is not bad. During WWII, crazy nazis got their hands on the remain of Lucifer, went all mad then offed themselves. The Americans got their hands on it afterward, and same thing happened.
The remains got buried until the some crazy scientist acquired it and decide to clone Lucifer, with the "how-to" from the "Book of Souls".
That's what is explained to us at nealy 2/3rd of the movie. This movie is telling over showing, unfortunately. But not everything is explained. It seems to be in the future, not sure if they are on Earth or elsewhere. It is not explained how they got the book, nor how they linked the book to the remains, how they transported the remains to the lab while avoiding the fate of the nazi or the Americans, how they discover the remains, why they decide to go the cloning route, who the lead scientist is and how he got the money to buy the remain, who did he by them from... you get my point by now, I'm sure...
Otherwise, it's just people in full-body costume running around and getting shot at by stereotypical mercenaries with the infinite ammo cheat on. People screaming.
The camera is shaky, to say the least; you won't see much of what is going on. Also, everything is shot at an extreme close-up. My guess is that they wanted to generate a mood of claustrophobia, but it falls short.
Nothing is lurking either and the cover is misleading : the creatures looks nothing like an H. R. Giger ripoff. It's more like the costume from the Army of Darkness (the pit scene at the begining).
The movie is not bad, it just really not good.
