Mine Games (2012)
6/10
A different 'cabin in the woods' type of movie
26 August 2013
Warning: Spoilers
This has a group seeing pieces of the future, and so, by it's nature, leaves the story untold, as the present turns into the future. Because of this, the story is a bit difficult to follow, but not much more than any mystery, with clues as you go.

The movie otherwise is fine. It's put together with serious effort, with good direction and acting. It moves along at a good pace, and keeps you interested. It's nice to say it has few of those 'dumb blond' moves typically seen in horror films.

The low IMDb rating of 4.7 is probably because it's a weird approach to the 'cabin in the woods' story line. Since there is no specific antagonist (just a hinted at evil), there's nothing specific for the cast to fight against, and so it's hard to root for them..to do what?

Then again, it may be because of the dumb ending. You decide..

Still, I'll rate it at 6.2 until the end, then it gets a 5.9.
