Haunters of the Deep
A ghostly boy returns from the grave to warn against reopening 'The Devil's Mine' in this spooky drama.
Children's 1984 61 mins
Director: Andrew Bogle
Overview
Shot on location around the lonely, windswept coasts of Cornwall, this is an impressively ghostly adventure from the Children's Film Foundation. It remains a cautionary tale for profit-hungry modern miners, and the fine underground camera work effectively conveys all the creepy claustrophobia of the haunted 'Devil's Mine'.
