Waste of time

The trailer wasn't bad but the movie sucked. If Will Patton wasn't in it I never would of watched it. All this movie consists of is people running around in the darkness. There was also no clear explanation on what the monsters were. And they never show you a clear shot of what they look like. All you get from whatever these creatures are is a bunch of annoying moaning & groaning. Movie was a waste of time. 4 stars.

Close but no cigar.

Strong start. Visually pleasing. Great suspense elements. And then character development screeches to a half, picture gets blurry and erratic and suddenly you have no idea what's going on and you kind of don't care.

Some of these "reviews"...

This is not a perfect movie. It is also nowhere near the worst of all time. It is a low budget horror movie, and not a bad one. Hollywood dumps worse than this in theaters every January and late August.

Too Dark

Too dark and not in a good way, even in daytime setting I couldn't see a thing, I've no idea what was going on as the screen just seemed to be in total darkness. I can understand most of these things happen at night but even the daytime stuff seemed to be dark, I thought at first there was a Shaddow on my screen.

Didn't keep me interested enough to watch it all the way through, boring story, boring cast and I couldn't see what was going on.

I tried so hard...

I wanted to like this movie, but it was just ok. The acting is solid and some great atmospheric moments. The story is not all too original but still intriguing. Where the movie fails for me is in two spots. First, yes I know it is mostly at night, but parts are just too dark for the human eye. Second, the whole film is based around the monsters that we hardly get to see enough of. Worth a watch but keep your expectations low.

Trivia
The scenes in the mine are filmed in Slade, Kentucky and you can visit it and take a tour of inside the mine. There are two different touring companies, The gorge underground & SUP Kentucky.

Goofs
When they discover the presence of Anthracite at the mine, a character announces they've found C15H11O (which is the elemental composition). However, he pronounces it as C15, H11, "dash zero", when it should be "oh" as in the letter, which stands for oxygen.
