Curse Of The Forty Niner

Be careful what you wish for. Six money-hungry teen-somethings are off on a quest to find the lost gold in the haunted hills of Suttersville known back in the days of the gold rush for their wealth in gold, but they may just be getting more than they bargained for. Legend has it that the late gold miner Jeremiah Stone (Vernon Well), who has been affectionately dubbed the meanest man who ever lived, died 150 years ago and not only cursed the gold, but comes back from time to time to savagely keep tabs on it and make sure it doesn't end up in the wrong hands. As the kids get closer to their gold goal, one by one they are picked off by the pick-axe-wielding 49er. Can the wise lady from the hills (Karen Black) teach them the secret to getting rid of this Freddy/Jason/Creeper guy and stop him from killing them already

    Dont mess with the maniac miner!

    Just have to write a short review of this absolute gem of a title. I rented it as i have an interest in americana and horror is my favorite genre. I was treated to a ride of a lifetime!

    I wont spoil the excellant story for you which involves a bunch of teens evoking the curse of the forty niner, but i will say that this is a must see. Thrills, chills and bellyache (because of the gory realistic effects). Acting suprisingly top notch and effects of the highest standard. I cannot rate this film enough. i give it a SCARY 5 out of 5. ps word of advice watch with friends as it will scare the pants off you!.

    Curse of the one liner

    Forgive me, this is great if you compare it to 'SLASH' but don't because it's nearly as bad, it just didn't work from the off....god somebody give Romero the budget for 'DEAD 4 ' stop wasting film studios money. this film ryhmes with 'RAP'
