      Audience Member This is such an awful movie, which is really the only reason to see it. It is hilarious how bad this movie is. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member I enjoyed every cheezy moment of this movie Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member This had me laughing pretty hard & very often. Very low budget horror flick about a Miner that comes back from the dead to kill anyone who takes his gold. Grab your popcorn & get ready for the cheese. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member bleh. corny as all hell. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Similar to another movie I saw about a group of kids who found a mine and then getting dared to do things except the other movie was heaps better than this one (I think it was called Buried Alive?). This movie looked like a comedy-horror and the curse didn't make much sense and was not very exciting. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Worst horror film I've seen in quite awhile. Good thing it was playing on The Movie Channel and I didn't have to actually pay to see it. One unique thing about this film is that the cast is downright ugly, not a good looking person in sight. The "miner" is super lame as well, totally laughable. I have nothing good to say about this film. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
