Maroc, 1956.
There's evil lurking in a tomb, as the diggers sing, and dig, and dynamite their way in...
Years later, people are back the tomb, only they know not that it's a tomb now. It's a mine, and once again they make their way into the darkness...
It's filmed beautifully, the sceneries are beautiful, and the site of the dig is fascinating, and so is the myth and monster.
They're thorough, the French.
The props seem to be weak point point. The being that lurks in the darkness is just not mobile or livid enough - though the first scare was hella convincing. After that unfortunately it gets pretty predictable. They show too much. They make cliche mistakes. They end it in a typical way too, and one that leaves little satisfaction for the view.
But... it's good. The build up is fantastic. The ending doesn't get me all the way...
rated 3.5/5: not bad at all

This was pretty damn interesting. And yet, nobody's spoken! Be the first!
