In an isolated island in Indonesia, an expedition is apparently seeking the legendary Yamashita's Gold. Out of the blue, they are attacked and seek refugee in an abandoned Japanese bunker. Soon they discover that the place was a secret laboratory in the World War II where the prisoners were guinea pig in weird experiments. Further, they are trapped inside with strong and resistant creatures created by these experiments. Will they succeed to escape from the dead mine?I really do not understand how producers (HBO, not Sci-Fi) can spend their money in garbage like that. The story is a terrible rip-off of "The Descent" and I believe anyone who read it would have at least some doubts to make a movie. The dialogs are extremely poor and the motive of the expedition is a mess. Who are the guys that shoot the expedition? How the Japanese survivor had eaten and drunken along all those years trapped in the bunker with the creatures? How someone could inject a rusted syringe with a sixty and something year-old substance in another person with the intention of healing him? The group splitting to be more easily killed is one annoying clichés. The awful lack of conclusion seems to show the intention of a sequel, meaning more wasted money. Last but not the least; the acting is more dreadful than the creatures. My vole is two.Title (Brazil): "Mina Abandonada" ("Abandoned Mine")

I can be pretty short about this. While the general idea of the script is fine, it reminds me too much of other movies such as 'The Descent' and 'The cave', which in fact are WAY better! Trying to reinvent the wheel mostly does not work, and it does not work here either. Yeah OK, the script is different, but the main idea is the same: flesh eating/killing monsters in some sort of cave. The acting is mediocre at best. To be honest, it's hard to come up with a decent review, as there is very little to say about this movie. I personally found this rather boring, not innovative and a waste of time. I think giving it 5 stars is being very generous.

"Dead Mine" is a dreadful movie along the lines of "The Descent" except that Japanese troops from World War II are hiding in a remote cave. The protagonist, Warren Price (Les Loveday), is leading a heavily-armed group of guys with guns searching for the legendary gold horde of General Yamashita in an isolated, shutdown mine in this modest Indonesian horror thriller. Gunmen drive our heroes into the mine, and they encounter pasty-faced guys and old-fashioned samurai warriors. Eventually, they discover that hideous experiments were conducted on soldiers. Nothing struck me as remotely scary. This is one of those movies where everybody dies and we're supposed to enjoy the way that the villains—Japanese soldiers from World War II—administer death with their swords. Characterization is flat, exposition is perfunctory, while performances are adequate. The opening scene when an armed man is sucked into a hole gets things moving fast but it is nothing designed to induce long range horror. Like but never as compelling as "The Descent."

If you haven't already seen it, i recommend you to see Outpost 1 & 2 thriller movies. This movie is a bad imitation of Outpost and Predator movies. Rating: Script: 1/10 Scene Effects: 4-5/10 Actors: 2 (No feeling at all not even at a single line) Mix of the above : -5/10The scenery in many scenes looks fake. The main monsters are nothing specialHighly predictable!Actually i couldn't find a good thing to tell about this movie.Again!!! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0892899/http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1418712/?ref_=tt_rec_tti
