   A crew of coal miners are caved in and are trapped 600 feet below as it will take at least three days for rescue as the air becomes more toxic and then suddenly they spot some sort of evil spirits and demonic possessions while residing underground as well as each of them turning on one another.  
   An impressive beginning with a rescuer digging through the  mine to rescue the people that were buried underneath which is a nice prologue to  the story.Some impressive moments and conversations with the miners  having uplifting conversations at a bar as well as good carefully done shots on  them at a table as things looked good and natural to everything.
 Also a nicely done conversation between the main character's  George and Samantha at their home as this looked like a good heartwarming  situation between father and daughter to what they were discussing before  heading to work.
 Also perfect moments with George showing his workers around  the mine and what thhey're expected to do as there's perfect realistic going  on's with the workers working away as this was strongly done. Plus a great  suspenseful shot on a grinding machine and the suggestions that a disaster is  going to happen.
 Perfect dynamic reactions here and there when the mine is  caved in and the craziness that is happening along with someone being injured  as this all leaves off a perfect psychological feel to everything especially on  how long it will take for them to be rescued which doesn't leave a good feeling  at all imagining if you're trapped in there.
 The horror really kicks in a great deal when the gang hears  a strange noise and trying to find out on what it is which keeps you in  suspense a great deal.
 Also we have a perfecrt moment when Samantha checks up on  her injured guest which is Mundy as well as a moment that takes you by surprise  on the change of his face which is a neat shoccking special effects moment  wonder as to why this had happened.
 Also perfect shots on some of the workers struggling against  somme tight stone walls along with an abandoned mine they never knew existed  which is a nice touch to the horror story and making you wonder if evil resides  there.
 Great struggling situations with Samantha trying to dodge a  pick axe stabbing throough her insidde a tent as this makes you gasp and wonder  if she will manage not to get killed with the great fast action moments and  camera shots too. Also perfect moments revealing the killer which looked  totally ghoulish spotting alot of this.
 A terrific powerful psychological moment with George acting  psychologically obnoxious towards Samantha as this leaves you a feeling that he  is not himself and possibly possessed by the evil that is happening down there  as it was carefully focused by what goes on here.
 Great fast action camera shots involving the supporting  character Masek attacking George by strangling him as it makes you watch carefully  wondering if he will be killed as well as great fast action moments on a shovel  smacking someone else in the head which all of this looked painful.
 Perfect camera shot looking down when some of the survivors  looking down from a ladder wondering how far the drop is as the shots looked  perfectly dark. We have a carefully focused shot on Samantha climbing down the  ladder and a ghoulish face catches her by surpprise which was supposed to make  you jump but this fails a great deal yet is impressive to keep you in suspense  wondering if she's okay after she fell. There's some interesting horror moments  that are discovered on what she spots in a passageway but yet this doesn't look  overly suspenseful like it should've been.
 Bottom line is that the beginning of the story looked like  it would be a great creepy story since it was based on true events but yet  there's some disappointments with the suggested creepiness in certain parts of  the story since we've seen some of this before in other types of ghoulish or  supernatural horror flicks. The film was well done other arts regardless just  not what I expected but that's just me.
 
 The acting is very well performed in which the lead actress Kelly Noonan (Samantha Marsh) was perfect sharp in whatever she did and stole  the show with whatever she did. Does well with her tough attitude whenever she  had to be like this. Also was powerful within her blocking when the struggling  moments or the terrors start to happen too. Does well with her upsetting  attitude too which she looked energetic by doing so. She showed a good strong  personality. Jeff Fahey (George Marsh) was another well polished  character actor in which he came across perfectly strong as a leader of a coal  mine and showed a perfect seriousness into all that he had to do. He showed a  perfect sharp focus into all of this. Plus does well by acting obnoxious and  insane and adding a perfect punch to all of this. Shows off a nice versatality  into this too. Also does well reacting to pain during other parts of the story  showing great shocked expressions too.
 Kurt Caceres (Torres) does well portraying the good hearted  one with a good tough speaking type of attitude. He also had the right tough  looks for this acting perfectly emotionless. Does a nice job with his tough  sterness as well. Plus does well losing it and acting anxious as this showed  alot of great energy within this.
 Eric Etebari (Masek) does a nice job with his masculine  attitude and intimidating features too. Was good by being expressionless and  believeably introverted along with having a nice gruff speakinng in his voice.  Also does well acting tough whenever he needed to. Shows a nice powerful  forceful and deadly attitude when he acts possessed and shows a convincing and  tight grip on someone as he knew on how to make this look truly painful.
 Brent Briscoe (Mundy) for sure shows off a perfect mysterious  type of attitude. Was perfectly intense when he gets injured. Not being able to  handle the pain as he acted like he really was like that. Also shows off a nice  upsetting and shocked expression when something deadly happens to him at the  end of his performance.
 Mark L. Young (Grubbs) haad an effective supporting role as  hee was convincing by portraying a cocky prick of all the miners as well as  dooing a goood job by getting short or aggressive towards someone else like he  was going to hit them he did this well. Also had thhe perfect looks for playing  this type of role looking like a bit of a punk.
 
 A person's knee is mangledArm is torn off
 Miner is gutted out
 Bloodied bodies are revealed
 People are stabbed by pick axe's.
 
 Alot of perfect dark soundings and scrapings too along with  heavy breathing which is perfectly suitable for the plotlines in the film  iinstead of the typical classical suspenseful music that's used in today's  horror films. Makes every moment seem genuinely eerie since it's down in a coal  mine. Nothing too complicated. All of this was put together by Andres Boulton.              |
