    So bad it's great

    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.

    a kebab with all

    Have you ever seen a walking talking chunk of kebab, wearing welding glasses and a pick axe in his hand. well this walking kebab is the monster in this horror thriller mystery slasher, filmed on location in trinidad,colerado, known for its santafe railway stop, its mining history, the first female sports jounalist, being the only woman then covering the world series/baseball, and famous for its weed, that is on wholesale on main street, working as a magnet and gravitates people from the surrounding states that doesnt have as liberal cannabis policy as colerado.

    its in fact a flick that has its roots in history. in 1903 there were a vast explotion in the main mine, killing 13 miners, and the monster has appeared to commemorate his working buddies, by killing 13 citizens of the trinidadian population. the cruel killings are pretty graphic and the make or break-up department have had a handfull to work with.

    its nt a good film, very primitive and amateuristically made, the cast are at best b'sides them selves, and the score is made by the children of trinidad school of arts, and so are the drawings. the plot are very predictable and the story easy to follow, so if you are a walking kebab yourself its easy to follow.

    there are also a mysterious figure entering the scene in front of every killing, sending a message to the victim to come, that was the lamest figure of them all. ive seen this actress before, cause its a female, but dressing her up like a bearded midget with a large spoon and a frying pan , ringing the bell like the timekeeper in a boxing match.

    i did though view the entire movie, and the grumpy old man had some history learned, but as a feature film its playtime is far too long and the scare jumps are absent, but i will not unrecommend it, because it has a tiny little bit of fun in it.

    Another rating highly skewed

    I won't do much here other than to say the reviews in IMDB are accurate. This is a poorly made movie in every facet. The acting and directing are "drama club" level, the camera work looks like it was done on a high quality home camcorder, and the special fx are simply laughable. I never take IMDB avg ratings as the Bible, and this movie is a perfect example of why. I suspect that numerous folks who worked on the film, their families, and friends each voted in the 8-10 star range. Sadly, this film barely gets off the ground. I regret watching very few movies, as there is almost always something of value hidden in 90 minutes, but this is a true regret...AND it's just shy of two hours.

    Do yourself a favor...pass on this one. I only watch indie horror these days, so I can appreciate minute budgets when In the hands of a capable director, cast, and script. This fails on all three. Loads of better films out there. I take my reviews very seriously - check'em out- so I hope you'll heed this warning.

    Digger

    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 😊

    Bad, just bad!

    If you fast forward through it, it makes it a little better.
