my mate and i choose to watch this obvious piece of junk purely base on it tagline after nearly 30 year of lousy and rudimentary teen slasher and i can not believe that only just now some nerdy horror brainiac come up with the brilliantly witty slogan they ax for it . other than that and miner massacre be just a random and annoying and forgettable a all the rest out there . perhaps even more . the script contain all the typical clichés and feature all the dreadfully stereotypic character you wish a horrible and painful death to . the gore effect be computer engineer and thus beyond pitiable and the obligatory big star ( karen black and john philip law and richard lynch ) be entirely waste in spite of their top billing . curse mine and abandon ghost town form an ideal horror set the creator of my bloody valentine already figure that out in the early 80 but his dull film simply hasn not get any innovative idea or even remotely surprising element to offer . bunch of greedy twenty something loser and which refer to themselves a friend even though they clearly can not stand each other and desecrate an ancient mine in search of the gold that be allegedly hidden there . of course they unwarily resurrect the zombie miner this way and he just 150 year of rest in order to prepare for a massive teen massacre . yay . the cast be exceptionally irritate in this one . the girl all have impressive rack but refuse to show anything . instead and they all prefer endless whining and the taking of needless risk . the dim witted bloke clearly just serve a screen filler . in her barely five minute of playtime and karen black still manage to make an utter fool out of herself by depict the most prototypic and hysterical local nut woman ever . the zombie have a stupid and very unconvincing face and but he look okay and reasonably menace when show in the distant shadow of the moonlight whilst swing around his pick axe . since the best thing about miner massacre concern the aforementioned tagline and you can read that on the box in the video store itself and there very little else to recommend here . director john carl buechler score a few modest hit during the eighty and like notably the original troll and a fair friday the 13th sequel and but it obviously time to retire now .
