Four teens set out one day to explore one of those tunnels that run under the USA/Mexican border, not on any geological quest mind you, but it's rumored that there is a stash of some really primo grass there, the stuff they called in my misspent youth, Acapulco Gold. Nice and aged it should have a great street value.The four teens are Cerina Vincent, Callard Harris, Amber Benson, and Edward Furlong. At the time this film was made Edward Furlong was all of 28 and looked it, but I'm sure this was the best they were offering him.Now if nothing had ever happened why Benson was along is beyond me. She has a broken foot and is on crutches and she's really not much help in a crisis. And the crises start piling up.First our four explorers meet some real live drug dealers who are upset that someone is on their turf. The only other ones allowed are coyotes running illegals across the border. But then they meet up with crazy old Steve Railsback who has an army of ghosts he's collected in the tunnel. All part of some vengeance scheme involving his late son, Paul Cram who is also appearing as ectoplasm.This was supposed to be a camp version of a horror film, but I found very few laughs here.

This was just awful. I really don't know what Eddie Furlong was thinking agreeing to be in this movie. Didn't he read the script beforehand? I could barely sit through this and I would never recommend it to anyone. In addition, I would advise the SyFy Channel to never play this movie again. I, like many others, I am sure, thought that the fact that Mr. Furlong was in this movie would insure that it would be worth the two hours I sat and watched this. The plot made no sense, they reuse scenes over and over (not the good ones either), and I rather wanted to shot myself in the face by the time I finally made it to the end. The one saving grace is a side boob shot at the very end... though even that didn't do much... Don't waste your time with this one, people.

i like Edward furlong i like horror moviesi did not like 'dead and dying'the editing was trying to be clever- without some of it the movie may not have adopted the 'try hard but shite'conclusion that i give it.drugs must have really messed up furlong because some of his previous films like terminator, American history x (highly recommended) and animal factory have shown him as quite an interesting and talented actor. dead and dying does the opposite. his acting is over the top in places and insufficient in others.i am not happy

I'm sorry but what the hell were these people thinking. This film has got to be one of the worst horror films I have ever seen. The acting was dreadful and the plot/script(if you can even call it that) was so badly written I found myself thinking that watching paint dry may be twice as fun! I understand that this film was low budget but I can think of quite a few low budget films that are really good. I also understand that some low budget horror films are bad to be funny but this film wasn't even funny. The only thing that stopped me from turning off the DVD player was the reason I bought this film in the first place, which was because it has Amber Benson in it. I think the only thing that stopped my brother from getting up and leaving was the fact that he was too entranced by Cerina Vincent's breasts to even notice how much this film sucked. The only things that made me give it a three was that Amber Benson being cut in half was possibly one of the funniest things I've seen this year and my brother taking it off my hands for twice what I bought it for.
