I wish that I would've seen the original film, but I found this to be quite an enjoyable movie even without.  This was much more a sequel than a remake adding the nice modern flair.  It had me guessing who the killer was, and surprised at the reveal.  Some good kill scenes and it even made me jump and gasp a couple of times.  Overall really good movie and definitely worth the time watching.


My score  4.5/5

"Mine Games" ~ 2012

"Mine Games"  ~  2012

Netflix description  =  When a group of friends find a remote abandoned mine and decide to explore, their excitement turns to fear as they're hunted by a mysterious force.

I was expecting a basic slasher film, but what I received was a surprising film with twists, turns and unanswered questions.  The kill scenes are short with little gore but I still overall enjoyed the story.  Certainly worth the watch, and one that I will probably watch again.


My score  3.5/5
