Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
GurlyIamBeach Instant Favorite.
Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
Delight Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
thekarmicnomad This film is massively mediocre. Now that is obviously not a compliment, but it doesn't have to be an insult either.It has elements of recovered cam shots, but is not a found footage film. It has some elements of horror, but is not scary enough to disturb even the most highly strung small child. It has "coming of age" elements, but you don't really get to know the characters or invest in them enough to care. It's quite cheap, but not funny or "so bad it's good"This reminded me of a cheaper version of a Dawson's Creek Halloween episode. Which is... OK.Would I pay to go and see a Dawson Creek Halloween rip off? Hell No! But if it was on Netflix and I was desperately trying to avoid doing some work I might put it on. Actually I did, and it was... OK
David Arnold A mine is reportedly haunted by one of the men who used to work there and his two daughters, who were killed in front of him. Skeptical about the hauntings, five friends decide to take a trip down into the mine as part of their Halloween outing, but when strange happenings start going on, the group members start to realise that maybe there is more to the story than what they originally thought.Abandoned Mine is pretty poor in every sense of the word. Poor plot, poor story and poor execution. The only decent thing about it was the acting as this wasn't that bad at all. Unfortunately you can only go so far with only decent acting when everything else is so poor and even an experienced actor would have struggled to make this movie more interesting.For a reportedly creepy horror it really isn't very creepy at all and that's a bit of a pity really because the setting of an abandoned mine is a good one. You just have to see movies such as The Hills Have Eyes Part 2 and The Descent to see how movies where the main setting - or part of one - is underground and can work really well in bringing an uneasy feeling to the audience. Abandoned Mine doesn't do that, though, and instead of being a creepy horror it just turns out to be a Jackass type of movie.The twist of the movie (if it can be called that) can really be seen coming very early on as well, especially given what we already know about the group members. I have seen much worse but that doesn't mean that this is any good.Definitely wouldn't recommend watching this one.
suite92 Five school friends (Sharon, Brad, Laurie, Ethan, Jim) organize to spend Halloween in or near the Jarvis Mine. The abandoned mine is said to be haunted by the ghosts of the Jarvis family, who were murdered so that greedy parties could steal the mine. They bring miner's hats and some climbing supplies (ropes, matches, food) to stay overnight.They make a short descent down a fairly shallow shaft. They find the Jarvis daughters' toys, plus dynamite, tarantulas, and all sorts of stuff. Things are going fine until someone burns through the heavy rope tied to their base at the level of the mine opening. They try to climb out the way that they came, but fail. So they try alternate routes.Jim is too large for some of the passages the group attempts, plus he is claustrophobic. So the party separates. Clever. Jim is stuck where he is until someone can extricate him from above, that is, the place where they came in.The remaining four push on and find more artifacts from the Jarvis family. They follow fresh air. At one juncture, Brad leaves his backpack behind, and goes back to get it. He falls (well, perhaps is pushed) to his apparent death. Sharon, Laurie, and Ethan rush on a bit too quickly.How many of the scares are Halloween pranks, how many are something unexpected? -----Scores-----Cinematography: 5/10 Varies considerably, from crisp and nicely shot to full-on shaky cam found-film nonsense.Sound: 4/10 There is a whole lot of mumbling going on, punctuated by loudness.Acting: z/10 I hate to fault the actors when the script is so bad.Screenplay: 0/10 Scary? No. Thrilling? No. Engaging? No.
Dustin Norman This film is amazing, Jeff Chamberlain knocked it out of the park, by doing a great, locally filmed, horror film that doesn't have people thinking they should have seen something else. I took my little sister to this, because she likes scary movies and she was floored by the twists and turns up to the last second. For all of you horror film lovers out there, this one will take a turn that you have never seen before and will want to watch again to make sure you caught everything.This is a must see for everyone this year, especially with Halloween coming up we all need to run out and check it out.... For me i will see it again and again, hope you all enjoy.
