Trivia

After Mikey has gone to bed, the others stay up drinking and playing games. One of the games has each player with a piece of paper with a person's name on it stuck to their forehead and they have to figure out whose name is on it. Guy's (Ethan Peck) paper says "Gregory Peck," his real-life grandfather.

User Reviews

Worth a watch...

A group of college graduate friends on a getaway weekend trip. Time for fun and drinking. As the van breaks down, it's a horror film as they always do, the troupe hoofs it to the nearby cabin to rest up. Upon discovering a nearby mine, the group explores. Spelunking discoveries become eerily ominous. Every trip back to the cabin to regroup provides no relief as does each trip back into the mine. Tension builds steadily throughout, the plot seems thin and weak. Just when you've got it figured out, everything changes. Break the cycle or else. Overall, well thought out and executed. People can always compare Mine Games to this and that but this dig is worth it...
