The Descent meets Outpost as a team of explorers are trapped
in an abandoned mine.
Unused since World War II the mine reportedly contains a
vast amount of lost gold but it also harbours some very strange inhabitants.
Looking like a cross
between Gollum and The Walking Dead the bad guys finally appear after almost 45
minutes. The surprisingly strong and agile underground dwellers are actually
prisoners of war who have been experimented on.
Then their captors also appear!
Led by an unintentionally hilarious (and weirdly preserved)
Japanese soldier who thinks the war is still going on these guys soon join in
the game of hunting down our intrepid team.
Dead Mine does provide a few laughs and turns out to be
quite good fun in the end, although I suspect my reaction to it isn’t the
intended one.
Available on DVD
in the UK
now.
Ric’s Rating: Dodgy.
Think I will pass on dodgy.
