What's a good B movie without giant creatures? Giant ants, giant worms, prehistoric beasts, and giant beetles. Yech. Yech. yech.
If you are a B movie fan, then this one follows the formula to the letter. Family is going on vacation to shut up that whiny teenager, Chelan Simmons (Final Destination 3, Good Luck Chuck). They get an offer they can't refuse (gotta pay that brat's tuition) and head to Switzerland to help some people explore an old mine.
What they do not know can kill them. These are not good people. They are after emeralds. There is something guarding those emeralds.
So while mom (Angela Featherstone - Army of darkness, Con Air) watches the kids, dad (Christopher Atkins - The Blue Lagoon) takes Colm Meaney and his bunch down into the mines. Chow time for the beetles! I spent a lot of time wondering if Monica Dean (Incubus) would survive, but it was a fun and exciting adventure, especially when Simmons get creamed with beetle juice. (insert nasty comment here).
Not a complete waste of time.
