Review of Dead Mine (2012) by Gaspar O — 31 Mar 2014

Dead Mine is not great. Dead Mine is also not terrible. I'm not a huge fan of the poorly lit glimpse of something tactic, and the ridiculously fast cuts so they can skimp on real cinematography and effects, but there was an uneasy, creepy vibe to this film that I enjoyed.

For what I'm guessing was a lowish budget film, I thought it was decent. The sound of the Japanese soldierfreaks marching to slaughter people indiscriminately still gives me the chills. I also dislike endings that make me decide what happened, very lazy writing in my opinion, but all things considered, for its genre and compared to other films at this level, I'm pleased with my hour and a half.
