Mine Games

This is actually a great horror, mystery, and suspense filled brainteaser of a movie. The first time I watched this, it completely shocked me how Intricate it all become. This film goes down the rabbit hole in the best way and it is shocking where it leads. It seems like it might be a dud by the low budget and lack of acknowledgment this movie has ever received. I highly recommend it for its uniqueness and way of telling the story. There is only a couple known actors/actresses but the story telling makes up for any mediocrity in the acting.

These friends take a trip into a cabin in the woods where things start to become very Irie and make no sense, at first. As the film goes on, it so cleverly delivers what is actually going on. It makes so much since in the way they deliver the information to us, whether it is something you are discovering as the audience or if it is something the audience knows but the people in the movie may not. I highly recommend giving this movie a shot.

I was burning through some repetitive work with this movie on in the background. I had low expectations, and then IceMan showed up, and then (spoiler) there were some nice boobs which ticked off a checkbox for making a good bad-horror movie. The characters were a bit whack and irrational, but how else are you going to write them into constantly returning to an abandoned mine. There's a beautiful lake nearby, but they're like "Hey, let's go back to the mine and drink more PBR." They try to add some un-reliable narration by introducing a trivial amount of drugs. I was like, "Is that ALL you're going to take? Can you even get buzzed from a couple Tall-Boys?" Standard cookie-cutter characters, but one was British this time, and that was never really explained. Was that a fake accent? It was nice to see the story almost work, but the ending left a lot of unanswered questions, like, "Why is this happening at all in the first place?", and "Why don't they just leave? It's a nice day." All in all, it's kind of like a more enjoyable version of "The Hole", combined with "Vivarium" or something.

Seven friends on vacation stumble upon an abandoned mine shaft in the middle of a remote forest and live to regret going in.

The film takes a while to get to the action which is a positive as you get to know the characters. To the films benefit most of them aren't so obnoxious you want to see them die, which always adds to any tension a film may build up. Although there aren't any real stand out performers the acting is decent throughout. The production values for a relatively small film are of an impressive standard.

There is a nice air of panic and mystery built up as some of the group slowly to begin see things that they wish they hadn't. This is an unusual story line and is to be applauded for being a bit different. There are a number of unsettling scenes and you never quite know where the film is going to go.

This is a small film that punches above it's weight and is well worth watching.

The Mine plays games with your mind...LoL

I wasn't expecting much at first due to the poor user ratings but mainly thought I'll give it a go as I was so impressed with the beautiful scenery.

The movie takes quite a while to make sense, but in the end I was satisfied with the meaningful ending cos all they had to do was for somebody or anybody to brake the cycle.

Overall, original and great story and really worth the watch if you're into high school or college horror/mystery movies.

Here yet again, we have an interesting premise with horribly written characters. Maybe most Americans think this is normal behavior or the writer's are not good at moving a plot line, so they write these types of characters in the plots so it's easier to get to the outcomes they envision. Anyway, the movie is kind of interesting, and you might enjoy it. Too hard for me anymore to get past what I feel is lazy writing.
