Directed by J. S. Cardone. Written by Boaz Davidson and Ben Nedivi. Starring Scout Taylor-Compton, Chloe Grace Moretz, Lori Heuring, Ben Cross and Geoffrey Lewis.
Plot: undead children come back to seek revenge.
In 1913, a mine collapses with a bunch of children inside. All of them die. 90 some odd years later, a woman (Heuring) and her two children, a hormonal teenager, Sara (Taylor-Compton) and a gooddish, if not overly curious, youngster, Emma (Moretz) move to that same mining town, in a house where some of the mining kids lived. Weird things start when a man smears blood on their door that the mother would prefer he not do. He explains it’s necessary, but she doesnt care. Then, Emma starts ranting and raving about her new friend Mary that no one really ever sees. And then Sara and her friends are attacked.
There’s a good story somewhere in here and a good motive, too, but the plot holes weigh it all down. And are they zombies or ghosts? Cause they’re dead and all, but they don’t completely act like one or the other. The rules are whack-a-doodle. And DJ really didn’t like the end. It left open too many questions.
I suppose I could list my favorite movies here, but instead I'll give you a strange glimpse into what makes me TaraRomero.
1. I love comic books. I'm particularly into anything X-Men related and everything Harley Quinn.
2. My celebrity crush is Chris Evans (AKA Captain America). He's even more political than I am and he's not afraid to show it, plus he's really, really hot.
3. I love baseball and more importantly the Boston Red Sox, even though I've never even been to Boston. LOL
4. If I won the lottery tomorrow, after paying off my debts, I'd buy a smallish house somewhere in Southern California. I have got to get out of Texas.
5. My cartoon hero is Tina Belcher. Her and I share a soul.
6. I've been rescuing dogs since I was a teenager and firmly believe that fur babies belong inside and on the furniture.
7. I'm very much addicted to Hallmark Channel. I love their sappy movies, especially the Christmas ones.
8. I have 2 tattoos. An "E" on my ankle for my first lost fur baby. And a ladybug on my wrist named George after George Romero told me he liked it. May he RIP.
9. I'm a bit of a night owl. Not that I go out a lot, it's just that I prefer to be up at night and asleep during the day. I'm a vampire like that.
10. I have an unhealthy relationship with potato chips. My favorite are Herr's Sour Cream & Onion.

Well said about this movie. There was awesomeness in there somewhere, especially with Chloe Grace at that age, since I think she was a much better starlet than adult actress. But there was too many holes in the plot, the rules were all over the map, and the ending was utterly dreadful.

Truth. Chloe Grace really was amazing as usual, but she couldn’t save the movie all by herself. Needed a concrete plotline and it didn’t have that.
