Nine Miles Down is a 2009 horror film based on the Well to Hell, a widespread urban legend (spread mostly in the 1990s) that Russian scientists had drilled so deep that they had broken through into hell and recorded the screams of the damned emanating from the borehole. It was the last feature film credit for writer Everett de Roche. It is an international co-production between the UK, Hungary, and the US.

I have to be honest with this one, it wasn’t my cup of tea. It was really difficult to follow and I’m not sure I even understand how this ended. It’s not even really about the Well to Hell, though I have enjoyed other movies based on this Urban Legend, it’s about what supposedly came out of the Well to Hell.
Which was an entity.
Maybe.
It could all be just part of psychological breakdown created by a noxious gas that came out of the pit.
Who knows?
Jack goes out to investigate the pit and what happened to the scientists there and finds JC. JC is not listed because they are a woman and women weren’t allowed at the pit so they hid her on the roster. Well, okay fine I guess. Weird but okay. So why is she the only survivor? And why is she so hot they have to get it on halfway through the movie? And then what the hell happened? Okay the place is contagious and needs to be quarantined and JC and Jack are in the hospital now.
And then…. ?
My Rating: ★★
