This is why I watch all these movies, to find something awesome like this.
Starring Highlander himself, Adrian Paul, Nine Miles Down is a fun fucking mindfuck of a movie that will draw you in and wrap you up while it stabs you in the nuts.
The premise is simple. A security guard has been called to a remote desert drilling site where only one person remains alive, a hot chick. Sounds good.
The movie throws out a lot of questions and riddles while not getting bogged down in them. The script is nice and tight, and while it deals with the supernatural and unexplained, it lets it's leads be the catalysts and not the mythos.
Visually, the movie is stunning. There are many cool effects that help move the actors along and really compliments the ordeal the characters are going through. More than once I was impressed with something new I saw, effects wise, which is something I certainly didn't expect from a low budget film.
At times the movie has a very European style when it comes to the acting, much more dramatic and internal, which seemed a bit out of place for a movie like this where despite just the two characters and not much moving around it still plays as hectic. But the style started to work on me.
If you like suspense, the occult, or just plain human drama, give this fucker a try.
Nine Miles Down gets 2 thumbs up.
