Diggerz: Black Lung Rises

Awesome it's filmed in my State Colorado and a the town Trinidad not to far from me. It's for sure low budget the acting is bad but watchable. The Minor's costume was for sure home made great for Halloween idea the diggers beard was a stick on so take a chance and watch it 😊

I'm not sure how this movie has an above average rating because it is really bad. Like some of the other reviews have already said, this isn't even worthy of "B movie" status. This is closer to a mix of a horribly made soap opera and a college student's sophomoric project that barely got a D+. No need to go into details, just as there is no need to watch this movie at all. I only rate a movie a 1/10 if it is truly broken and awful so I'll give it a 2/10, but it really doesn't deserve any more than that. Skip it.

I can only blame my insomnia for sitting through this absolute insult to the genre and to the audience that come across it,the makeup of the monster is abysmal looking like someone paper mache'd a balloon,stuck some goggles on it and plonked it on the actors head,the diggerz character,who is supposed to male is clearly female with a dodgy beard glued on and the overall effects throughout the entire movie are horrendous ,then we come to the relentless bad dialogue that just keeps assaulting you ears with just how bad it is,note to script writers,NOBODY on the planet talks like this!,with dialog this bad and zero acting skills it comes as no surprise that the acting is a complete travesty as well,so bad that you should just save yourself two hours of pure torture and never watch this movie.

I'm conflicted about how to rate this movie. It's quality is about a 1/10, but it's watchability is 5/10. In the first ten minutes I thought, "Oh no, this is terrible." The next half hour I hate-watched it just for the laughs. But slowly I started seeing it for what it is: a movie so bad that it's good. The acting and writing are poor, but the plot is actually pretty fun, with a Scooby-Doo vibe. I loved this movie.

I can force myself to sit through the most boring movies as long as they look professional. In this case, however, I felt like I was going to be sick, so I fast-forwarded through much of the movie. This is the first movie I've ever had to fast-forward. I'm no movie-maker, so I don't know how to explain what was wrong with this movie. You know how professional movies look different than movies that have been shot on ordinary video cameras or cell-phones? I'm not sure, but either it's because of the type of cameras used in professional movie-making or it's due to digital post-processing work done on computer after filming (perhaps both). Well, this movie looked as if it was in a raw state, shot on a family video camera or on a cell-phone with 4K quality. That means, it looked ridiculous, because the performances were theatrical, over-the-top and tried to imitate professional movies, while the video looked extremely amateurish, a bizarre combination that would make any movie utterly unwatchable. It had worse special effects than movies made in 1970s. The make-up was a joke. The female character had a kind of breathy voice quality that made me feel as if someone was scratching their fingernails on a chalkboard. Believe me when I say this is the worst movie I have ever laid my innocent eyes on, and I'm not the kind of person who would say that about just any movie. I've seen quite a few B-movies, but this was no B-movie. It was of Z grade quality. I suspect this was made as part of a student film project. Please, save yourself by pretending this movie never existed.

Final score: 0/10
