Nine Miles Down Trailer (2009)

The trailer for Seven Arts Pictures' Nine Miles Down.

In the remotest reaches of the Australian Outback, a sandstorm batters a deserted drilling station. Three days earlier, radio contract was lost, so security patrolman Jack is enlisted to investigate. The station, originally built for gas exploration then abandoned, had recently been revived by an international scientific research team on a discovery mission, which involved drilling deeper into the earth's crust than had ever been attempted before. Jack finds abundant food and resources in the complex but, oddly, not a living soul. Strained by the sandstorm, he is forced to stay the night. The next morning, Jack encounters a breathtakingly beautiful American geologist, JC, who claims to be the last remaining member of the research team. She tells how they had successfully breached the roof of a vast cavern at the unprecedented depth of nine miles. Following the discovery, a series of mysterious sightings and hallucinations were experienced by the increasingly fearful drilling crew. Violence had broken out, and the team fled the site, abandoning her with two scientists' corpses, which she keeps stored in a freezer. Although her explanation seemed logical, Jack suspects she's hiding something more sinister. To him, all the evidence points more towards a supernatural phenomena. JC warn him against choosing superstition over rationality, citing it as the cause for her teams' escalating paranoids in the first place. mission, which involved drilling deeper into the earth's crust then had ever been attempted before.

Nine Miles Down can best be described as a "thinking man's scary movie". It will tease the gullibility of the audience while exploring the consequences of abandoning logic and reason for ancient fears and superstitions.
