Critics Reviews

Robert Abele Los Angeles Times "Abandoned Mine" is all that its title promises: something generic and empty, with the sense that much has been left behind. Rated: 1/5 Aug 15, 2013 Full Review John Fink The Film Stage The film is not without its moments, but it delivers what is to be expected: some minor PG-13 horror thrills with the minimum amount of blood and terror. Rated: D+ Jun 28, 2016 Full Review Maitland McDonagh Film Journal International ...it delivers a handful of creepy moments and the opening-credits montage of old newspaper accounts of the Jarvis family's fate is genuinely disturbing.

don s Against all logic, I enjoyed this PG-13 Halloween centered horror movie. The director achieved a moody atmosphere down in the mines. The story is clunky and the reveal really wasn't anything that a grade schooler couldn't guess, but the actors were genuine in their portrayals and somehow it just clicked for me. Nothing new or spectacular by any means, but it was watchable which is more than I can say for the last handful of horror movies I've seen. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Stupid and horrible end Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Moments of creepiness, but overall just wasn't entertaining enough for me to recommend it. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review farah r Another lame cliche teenage horror. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member The movie is well written and directed.. not violent, but very well paced, acted and directed, if nothing else, great fun for the entire family... Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Abandoned Mine (Jeff Chamberlain, 2013) Abandoned Mine started off with a bang-there are some nifty filmmaking techniques that make it seem like you're going to get something much more than you are from this low-budget horrorfest. For some reason, however, Chamberlain abandons the pretense to the avant-garde once things get rolling, and we end up with a straightforward haunted-mine tale, mediocre but watchable. Plot: Brad (Pearl Harbor's Reiley McClendon) is a post-high-school layabout in a small rural town, bored out of his skull. His ex-girlfriend Laurie (Reservations' Saige Thompson) is back in town, so he cooks up an idea-the two of them, Brad's current girlfriend Sharon (Spy Kids' Alexa PenaVega), Laurie's schoolmate Ethan (High School Musical 2's Charan Prabhakar), and Brad's best friend Jim (Radio Flyer's Adam Hendershott), will spend the night near the mouth of the legendary Jarvis Mine, supposedly haunted by the family of the Jarvis that the mine is named for. A thunderstorm drives them inside, and weird things start happening... Unfortunately, none of those weird things are terribly unpredictable; you should be on the right track relatively soon, and from there, aside from some appealing ambiguity as to what's really going on with one of the characters, it unfolds in paint-by-numbers fashion. This has a surprisingly high-powered cast for such a shoestring affair, and despite being stereotypes, the characters are at least affable (I waffled the whole movie on whether Ethan was offensive or the best character in the entire movie). I've seen far worse movies this year, but I've seen far better as well. ** Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Read all reviews
