Sometimes I have to question why people would spend their money on crap like this. I understand everyone needs a start and people need to learn how to make, direct, and act in films. But there is no need to make crap, and that is what this movie is, pure un-adulterated crap.

So the story goes that some yahoo finds some gold in this cave takes it out and by doing so wakes the ghost of Jeremiah Stone, a horrible miner that killed and ate people before being shot by a bunch of settlers. His ghost is now hunting down the people who found not only the gold, but anybody who live in a five mile radius apparently.

The only actor with a recognizable face is Karen Black, who had a moderately successful career in the early 70's, including an Academy Award ® Nomination, but now is strictly a B-movie actress. But she has long lost any actual acting ability and is strictly making it on her name and what is left of her looks, which isn't much. As for the rest of the cast, the girls need to realize that they aren't going to make it in this business at this level if they don't go topless.

John Carl Buechler is the director and the lesson that producers should learn from having this guy direct is that special effects and make up guys do not make good directors. The movie wasn't scary, or bloody, nor did it make fun of itself, which all equals a bad movie.

I am not going to waste anymore time talking about this movie. The only way this movie could be of any use is if every DVD copy is collected, melted down, and turned into a bomb that we can drop in Iraq. It certainly isn't useful as a movie.
