action
Twins Rachel and Theo come to Auckland to stay with relatives after their mother's sudden death. There is a telepathic connection between them.

He reveals to them that only twins can stop the occupation of the earth by the aliens banned beneath the earth's surface.
criticism
"Under the Mountain" is a film without any real highlights. The actors are uninspired or simply overwhelmed, the effects are successful and the story can't really captivate. A little too gloomy for a young audience, just too generic for an older audience, “Under the Mountain” is ideally suited for an uneventful Sunday afternoon without ever being able to really convince. Rating: 4.5 out of 10 "
