I love a film that can deliver a combination of equal parts action and horror, and judging from what we’ve seen from DEAD MINE, we may just have something worthwhile on our hands.
From director Steven Sheil (who brought us 2008’s MUM & DAD), DEAD MINE promises an intriguing combination of human experiments gone awry, claustrophobia-inducing enclosed spaces and a look at the effects of war on soldiers and civilians, as well as treasure hunters, samurai zombies and other terrors lurking in the dark. Sounds like a winner to me! DEAD MINE is set to hit DVD on May 13th in the UK, followed by a DVD/Blu-Ray release in the U.S. on May 28th. Check out the synopsis and trailer below.
A group of treasure hunters set off to a remote Indonesian island searching for wartime gold. Beset by in-fighting, things go from bad to worse when they are suddenly attacked by a mysterious enemy. Taking refuge in an old Japanese WWII mine it quickly comes apparent that the groups treasure hunt has turned into something far more sinister, when they discover the area was used for secret medical research on P.O.W’s. When bizarre occurrences start to happen in the bunker it is revealed that the explorers are not alone and something far more deadly awaits them…
DEAD MINE stars Joe Taslim (THE RAID) and Sam Hazeldine (THE RAVEN).
