Five friends explore a supposedly haunted mine to celebrate Halloween, exactly one hundred years after a family was murdered in the mine. They soon find to their horror that the ghostly rumors may be true as they fight for survival.

Cast

Development

The film was originally titled The Mine, before the title was changed to Abandoned Mine.[2] Filming occurred in Utah and California.

The first clips from the film were revealed on August 7, 2013.[4] The first poster was revealed on June 18, 2013. The film was distributed by Gravitas Entertainment. The trailer was released on June 17, 2013, along with information about the release date.[5]

Reception

The Los Angeles Times panned the film, writing that it was "all that its title promises: something generic and empty, with the sense that much has been left behind."[6] The Film Journal was more positive, and wrote that "it delivers a handful of creepy moments and the opening-credits montage of old newspaper accounts of the Jarvis family's fate is genuinely disturbing."[7]
