    I tried so hard...

    I wanted to like this movie, but it was just ok. The acting is solid and some great atmospheric moments. The story is not all too original but still intriguing. Where the movie fails for me is in two spots. First, yes I know it is mostly at night, but parts are just too dark for the human eye. Second, the whole film is based around the monsters that we hardly get to see enough of. Worth a watch but keep your expectations low.

    Some of these "reviews"...

    This is not a perfect movie. It is also nowhere near the worst of all time. It is a low budget horror movie, and not a bad one. Hollywood dumps worse than this in theaters every January and late August.

    Who casts these things?

    As soon as I saw that the main character is a supermodel European giving tours of redneck America I knew it was gonna be bad. Not to mention they try to make her seem tough as nails, but she looks like she's never gone a day without a spa treatment. The movie isn't much better, but the main character tips the hand as to how bad this is.

    Waste of time

    The trailer wasn't bad but the movie sucked. If Will Patton wasn't in it I never would of watched it. All this movie consists of is people running around in the darkness. There was also no clear explanation on what the monsters were. And they never show you a clear shot of what they look like. All you get from whatever these creatures are is a bunch of annoying moaning & groaning. Movie was a waste of time. 4 stars.

    Might have been

    It might have been a good film but I will never know, it was filmed in stygian darkness, who was doing what to who and why will remain a mystery, as I could not make out what was going on, and why did they not call in the US Army to deal with whatever it was? filming great parts of films in darkness seems to be a trend lately, does it save money on sets? or Lighting? I don't know but it is tiresome.

    • Trivia
      The scenes in the mine are filmed in Slade, Kentucky and you can visit it and take a tour of inside the mine. There are two different touring companies, The gorge underground & SUP Kentucky.
    • Goofs
      When they discover the presence of Anthracite at the mine, a character announces they've found C15H11O (which is the elemental composition). However, he pronounces it as C15, H11, "dash zero", when it should be "oh" as in the letter, which stands for oxygen.
