This film is massively mediocre. Now that is obviously not a compliment, but it doesn't have to be an insult either.It has elements of recovered cam shots, but is not a found footage film. It has some elements of horror, but is not scary enough to disturb even the most highly strung small child. It has "coming of age" elements, but you don't really get to know the characters or invest in them enough to care. It's quite cheap, but not funny or "so bad it's good"This reminded me of a cheaper version of a Dawson's Creek Halloween episode. Which is... OK.Would I pay to go and see a Dawson Creek Halloween rip off? Hell No! But if it was on Netflix and I was desperately trying to avoid doing some work I might put it on. Actually I did, and it was... OK

I find it very hard to find scary movies that don't have bad reviews so if one has more than 1 star I will give it a try. This was a good change for being able to watch a scary movie without the sex, profanity and extremely fake gore that it seems we keep getting these days. This movie takes you to your fears. Everyone keeps saying it's no The Descent, no it's not. The Descent was excellent and it's hard to find horror movies like that these days, but it was good. Everyone has some type of fear of being trapped somewhere (especially underground) and they do a good job of taking you there. It does follow the classic "knowing whats going to happen next", but that's also the fun in it. You will find yourself many times saying "No....don't go in there". I think the actors did a good job, they kept me interested and that's what they're supposed to do.If I had anything bad to say I didn't really like the ending very much. I feel with the story that unfolded the ending could have been better.But overall, if you want a movie that's scary that's is OK for kids then this will please you.

A mine is reportedly haunted by one of the men who used to work there and his two daughters, who were killed in front of him. Skeptical about the hauntings, five friends decide to take a trip down into the mine as part of their Halloween outing, but when strange happenings start going on, the group members start to realise that maybe there is more to the story than what they originally thought.Abandoned Mine is pretty poor in every sense of the word. Poor plot, poor story and poor execution. The only decent thing about it was the acting as this wasn't that bad at all. Unfortunately you can only go so far with only decent acting when everything else is so poor and even an experienced actor would have struggled to make this movie more interesting.For a reportedly creepy horror it really isn't very creepy at all and that's a bit of a pity really because the setting of an abandoned mine is a good one. You just have to see movies such as The Hills Have Eyes Part 2 and The Descent to see how movies where the main setting - or part of one - is underground and can work really well in bringing an uneasy feeling to the audience. Abandoned Mine doesn't do that, though, and instead of being a creepy horror it just turns out to be a Jackass type of movie.The twist of the movie (if it can be called that) can really be seen coming very early on as well, especially given what we already know about the group members. I have seen much worse but that doesn't mean that this is any good.Definitely wouldn't recommend watching this one.

Movie is genuinely scary, "and a must watch movie".As a matter for climax, the story just amazed me .This is a movie that would be a perfect fit for young teens. A must buy the movie to watch the scary "faces of your guests", it's really fun.I am sure that whole family will enjoy the film.This movie keeps you on the edge of your seat.This is a perfect suspense thriller."There have been several films of this type recently and the majority are just lazy imitations of The Descent but Abandoned Mine is better than that." I love this movie.The movie is well written and directed, and I am glad that it's scary without over use of nudity and blood.
