This felt like a 'The Descent' wannabe, only very theatrical and not very believable. Sam Hazeldine was by far the best actor, as I found the rest very mediocre, as if they didn't really believe in the film themselves. The make-up effects are so clearly B-movie, but this was low budget after all, so I'll just convince myself they did the best with what they had. The plot and execution thereof, though, was not credible. And what an absolutely stupid ending! The abrupt ending WILL make you feel you've wasted your time watching this.
Plot summary
On 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 during World War II where the prisoners were guinea pigs in weird experiments. Further, they are trapped inside with strong and resistant creatures created by these experiments. Will they succeed in escaping from the dead mine?

Missing Some Details!
The point that I'll mention in this review containing spoiler scenes, so don't read this if you haven't seen the movie.
The story plot was okay, but unfortunately there were scenes that did not make any sense, even though for a horror action movie like this film, Dead Mine. For examples, there was a scene of a grenade that blew next to one of the actor. Instead of his body getting torn apart, in this film he managed to survive. He still got injured, not from the blast, but from the rocks that fell down and pressed on his legs. I mean, c'mon man... And how could the creatures that appeared as the Imperial Army in a heavy armor made from steel, suddenly popped out of the lake? They supposed to be drown due of the heavy things that they carried in their bodies. Anyway, the film wasn't bad, still okay to be watched though.

Could be better with a bit more effort
I wouldn't watch Dead Mine in the theater but for on television it's okay I guess. And by okay I mean it just passes, because it's still an average movie. The story was promising but at the end I thought it was poorly executed. For example when you're on the run for evil murderers you don't stop to watch how they butcher somebody, you just keep running. It's small mistakes like that that will bring the movie down. The actors are also not Oscar winners. It's pretty lame sometimes. But the story is still watchable if you have an open mind and are not too critical. With a bit more effort and better actors the movie could have been better but I guess they didn't have the budget for that.
