This is a blatant rip-off of "The Blair Witch Project", with the ending being ripped-off from "Rec/Quarantine".
Instead of looking for the Blair Witch, our three characters (2 guys and a girl....just like the "Blair Witch Project") are looking for the lost Dutchman mine. They talk to the locals (just like "B. W. P.), then park their car and head out into the desert (just like "B. W. P. Headed out into the woods). First night is calm, second night is crazy, third night is crazier (again, just like....you know).
I'll make this short. Pretty much everything that happens in B. W. P. Happens in this film, so there really is nothing original. The three characters end up running around and panicking, getting lost and yelling at one another. One of the characters end up succumbing the whatever evil lies in the desert terrain, and that makes the other two characters freak out and look for their friend (I almost expected them to start calling out "Josh!?!").
As far as the actors go, imagine a high school drama class getting their hands on some camcorders and saying, "Hey, let's make a found footage movie!". Yeah, that is the level of talent. One highlight of the talent hired to be in this crappy film is that one of the actors does take a picture of his "junk", which didn't really surprise me.
Lastly, one of the most annoying aspects of this failure film is that one of the cameras uses a 8mm filter effect, so a good forth of the film is seen through that effect. It adds nothing, it means nothing, it looks stupid, and it gives you a headache after a while. I have no idea what possessed the director to make the choice of using a 8mm filter effect, other than immaturity and lack of talent.
Every film goer and "Found Footage" aficionado should avoid this film. It not only plagiarizes, but fails as well.
