A small mining town is throwing their first Valentine party twenty years due to an event that shook the town and caused these parties to be outlawed.

Horror fans will enjoy watching all the creative and bloody ways people are killed. The film does a good job keeping the suspense going and what could be scarier in a dark mine than a crazy miner who's identity is hidden by a mask? The acting is decent, the characters are interesting and the girls are cute.

By today's slasher standards, this film is a bit mild and I suspect the reason there was never a sequel is that they let you know who the crazy miner is.

I remember seeing this as a teenager; it's funny what was scary and gruesome then isn't so much now. If you remember this film when it came out then you'll certainly want to revisit it; nine minutes of wonderful goriness has been added back. If not, this is a nice film to watch to see what used to be considered over-the-top scary and bloody horror. This is a standard 80's horror flick; horny teenagers breaking the rules and doing really stupid things like going down into a mine shaft at night after drinking beer. Horror fans will enjoy having this in their collection.
