Mine Games (2012)
36KMine Games: Directed by Richard Gray. With Joseph Cross, Briana Evigan, Rafi Gavron, Julianna Guill. A group of young friends make an incomprehensible discovery in an abandoned mine, but the more they try to change the future, the more they seal their fate.
“Future filmmakers please pay attention to this movie and take heed. There is truly no end to the creative possibilities when you have a blank canvas and some imagination. Cabin in the Woods and Mine Games both prove this by leading you on a merry journey expecting one type of film when in fact youu0026#39;re watching something completely different. Cabin isnu0026#39;t a horror film itu0026#39;s a sci-fi fantasy. Mine Games isnu0026#39;t a horror film it is a survival adventure. And with a clever premise, immersive sets, and a soundtrack and sound effects that seem to take the movie seriously, I unfortunately must join every other reviewer and ask the question: Who above a 3rd grade education spends an entire mountain vacation exploring spooky abandoned mines? Yoda didnu0026#39;t tell them u0026quot;In you must go,u0026quot; so wave goodbye to logic. Further question why a mine? We could have built the same plot turns in the setting of the beautiful cabin and surrounding woods. Like Time Lapse and Parallels, I walked away from the movie with the simultaneous need to watch it again and the wish that the movie could have been more. I hope future filmmakers feel the same way and continue to think outside the box like Mine Games but with better results.”
