12/15/2009 This is such an awful movie, which is really the only reason to see it. It is hilarious how bad this movie is. See more 10/28/2009 I enjoyed every cheezy moment of this movie See more 10/14/2009 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. See more 01/25/2009 bleh. corny as all hell. See more 01/04/2009 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. See more 10/19/2008 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. See more Read all reviews
