It looks like money was spent, but they actually had only about $10,000 in spending money, with five crew people, and five actors in South Africa, and only 9 shooting days! Another $50,000-$60,000 or so went to Visual Efx, probably another $10,000-$15,000 to color correct and post, and another 15,000 to airfaire, for a total of no more than $100,000 spent in all. It was only 9 weeks from when pre-production started until post-production was completed. They pulled off a miracle in getting this done so quick, looking this slick, and for dirt cheap. A handful of very talented guys who deserve to go places, working for basically no money! And this is actually one of the better Asylum movies I've seen.

Rider Haggard classic novel King Solomon's Mines. The character was originally made famous by veterans Stewart Granger and Richard Chamberlain.

The book is fucking brilliant; this looks like typical bog-standard Asylum fare.
